Debra Shelton

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take those first steps toward change – I’m glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist in Tennessee, Mississippi and Florida with 22 years of experience and I have been providing services for Betterhelp for the past 6 years. Whether you are feeling stuck or facing big challenges in your life, counseling can be helpful and rewarding for anyone wanting positive change.

I work with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and many other challenges. I also work with those recovering from narcissistic abuse. My therapy style is interactive, direct, casual and respectful. I want to provide a safe space for you to explore your challenges and solutions.

I use principles of different therapies such as cognitive behavior therapy, ACT, and humanistic counseling. In other words, I believe you have the answers within you and we can work together to uncover them and to find solutions. You will learn new problem solving skills that you can apply to future challenges and try on some new perspectives and new behaviors in an effort to bring about the change you would like in your life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

About

Her therapeutic style is interactive, direct, casual, and respectful, designed to create a safe space where clients can explore both problems and practical solutions.

She draws on methods from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and humanistic counseling, holding the view that individuals often have the answers within themselves.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or managing life changes – research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best: by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.

All therapists working in this format are licensed professionals, and clients may request a different provider at any time if they feel a different fit would be helpful.
