How Shenelle’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy starts by making the client's own goals and values the focus. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people decide what matters most to change. This approach is useful when someone wants personal support and understanding as a first step.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. Shenelle helps clients identify unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and track progress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress management.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation. This can be helpful for issues like addictions, impulse control, or making life changes.

Figuring out the best mix of these approaches is collaborative. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods, and adjust as progress is made. Shenelle supports clients in choosing what feels most useful for their situation.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during the day, or offering sessions that do not require being on camera. Discuss preferences during the intake so sessions match daily routines and technical needs.
