More about Shelley
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Hello! I am licensed in the state of IL (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and have practiced as an individual and couples therapist for 25 years. My experience brings a breadth and depth of knowledge to the table with years of working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-worth issues, addictions among other matters that may cause disturbance in one's life. Whether you are looking for safe space to support processing feelings or directive type of guidance I have the skill set to meet you where you are.
Allow me to share with you a little about my style. I think people can tell us what they are thinking and feeling but people don't cause their thoughts and feelings. I think that happens from a place below the level of conscious awareness. More than likely if what you are presenting was something to figure out solely from an intellectual level you wouldn't be coming to a therapist. It would probably already be resolved, done and dusted. Intellectual understanding is valuable and will happen. My approach allows change to be natural and long lasting through several modalities we can utilize in our work together. I intend to show up with compassion, presence, respect and desire to fully understand (along with some well-placed humor) to make healthy shifts.
I appreciate the time, initiative, and "lean in" it takes making steps toward a happier healthier life. I look forwarded to getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I really appreciate how much time and energy my therapist puts into each one-on-one session. She has a great approach that is currently really working for my needs and goals.
Shelley is a wonderfully insightful and kind therapist. She made me feel immediately at ease and comfortable to talk about my emotional concerns. She is patient and offers the necessary reminders that it will take time but You are worth it. I am glad to have connected with her when I did.
Shelley Hill was exceptional. I have learned healthy techniques that apply to my circumstances. She has brought to life thoughts and strategies I would have never seen on my own. The moments where the “light bulb” came on was noticed and appreciated. I truly love and respect my experience. I will be returning.
Shelley is absolutely fantastic! I’m so happy I found her. She’s nice, friendly, a great listener, and she really pays attention to you. She’s been so helpful. I cannot recommend her enough!
Shelley is an extremely compassionate and helpful professional. She has a flexible nature and patient communication style. Her approach to healing the subconscious is working really well for me. I would recommend her to those seeking to calm the nervous system, to handle a crisis, or to navigate everyday life. Thanks so much Shelley!
Shelley is kind, caring, and patient. I appreciate her guidance and feedback. I enjoy our sessions.
Shelley has been so patient and understanding with me. She’s incredible at meeting me where I’m at, and every session is tailored to what I’m needing that day. She has really helped me to shift my perspectives about myself and also how I see the world to a much more productive light, I would 100% recommend her.
She is amazing and kind. Really gets your mind thinking.
