More about me

Licensing: MA, LMFT, LCDC Years in Practice: 12 State: Texas

Hi! I'm so excited that you've decided to seek some support! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Nevada and Texas and a licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas. I have over 12 years working with a variety of people from varying backgrounds. I've provided counseling in private practice, schools, in patient treatment centers, and military bases. My specialities include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, coping and more.

I have two master's degrees; one in counseling psychology and one in religious studies from Southern CA Seminary. My approach to counseling is to partner with you to determine what's working and what's not. I then support you as you decide what changes you'd like to make and together we'll create the steps to make those changes.

My style is warm, empathetic and direct. I believe in you and your ability to create the life you want. I use a variety of interventions depending on what your needs are as counseling is never "one size fits all."

I can't wait to get to know you and your unique challenges so we can begin the journey to change. I know it takes a lot of courage to get to a place in your life where you're ready for something different.

Thanks so much for reaching out! I look forward to speaking with you!!!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Shelley did an amazing job counseling me in our video session! She went out of her way to schedule me for a full hour so that she could spend more time listening to me and helping me. She was so patient, kind, and empathetic. I was also impressed with the insight she had into my problems after only one session. I felt at ease from the start and left our session with some great ways to overcome my problems. I am so grateful that I was placed with her and would definitely recommend using her!

Overall

Shelley is an incredible therapist! She really understands me and is super patient with me. She is willing to help me identify the flaws in my own thinking and my behaviors in a way that is non-judgmental but helps me make improvements for the better. I have worked with several therapists in my life and have never felt as understood and "seen" as I have with Shelley. I highly recommend!

Shelly is an amazing therapist who can mix both her professional learning with her understanding of "real life" issues. I find her understanding, caring and intuitive in our sessions.. She seems to have the ability to get me t think beyond the surface and challenges me to look at look at myself differently.

Shelley has been incredible to work with. I feel like she truly "gets me." From our initial session, she just seems to know exactly what I need. Shelley is a kind, supportive, compassionate person who seems to be able to empathize and understand where I'm at during each session - (I can be all over the place sometimes) -and how to support at every stage of personal exploration and growth that I need. I highly recommend working with Shelley!

I’ve been with Shelly for about a year and I have seen SO much growth since the beginning! I have learning new things to watch out for that I didn’t know before and have learned the techniques that work best for me in bettering my anxiety. I tried other counselors before and she’s the best!

Overall

Shelley was my first experience with a therapist and she was amazing. She helped me aquire and strengthen tools to help me through difficult emotional situations and I feel that I am better equipped to deal with life's obstacles because of her help. She has a great balance of being unbiased while still calling me out on unhealthy behaviors and thought patterns.
