More about Shellene
- 7 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over thirteen years of experience in the social services field, specializing in supporting adults and veterans through life’s challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2020 and obtained my Florida licensure in 2022.
My professional journey began in 2012 within a Head Start program, where I developed a deep commitment to supporting individuals and families. Over the years, my clinical focus expanded, leading me to join a mental health agency in 2022, where I provided individual, group, and family therapy.
As someone from a military family, I have a personal understanding of the unique experiences faced by service members, veterans, and their loved ones. This insight inspired me to open my own practice, with the goal of offering specialized, culturally competent care to the military and veteran community, as well as to adult individuals navigating trauma, life transitions, and personal growth.
I utilize a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach that emphasizes resilience, self-determination, and holistic well-being. A variety of therapeutic services are available, and I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to help determine the best fit for your needs.
I’m honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey and look forward to helping you build on your strengths and enhance your resilience.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
