How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and track emotional responses in relationships and personal interactions. It focuses on recognizing attachment patterns and changing the ways people respond to closeness, which can help with relationship and abandonment concerns.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's perspective and uses open conversation to help them organize thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Shelley will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include combining emotional exploration with skills practice so clients can experiment and adjust as they go.
