Shelley Janz is a Clinical Social Worker practicing in Wisconsin with 20 years of experience supporting individuals and couples. She has spent more than a decade working with people facing grief, loss, and end-of-life concerns, and she also addresses relationship and family conflicts, anger management, depression and anxiety, and personal development and life coaching.
Shelley works from a person-centered place that emphasizes inclusivity and compassion, tailoring her approach to fit each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method. She is professionally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, and adapts those techniques to suit the situation at hand.
Her experience includes working with LGBTQ+ clients as well as First Responder and Law Enforcement groups, and she strives to create a nonjudgmental space where people are treated with dignity and respect regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, or race. Shelley holds a Wisconsin Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW, license number 7689-123 - and she partners with clients to identify clear goals and follow a treatment plan aimed at meeting their specific objectives.
Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, and Shelley recognizes the courage it takes to seek help. She offers steady guidance throughout the process and looks forward to supporting those ready to work toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Many people wonder whether virtual sessions can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as in-person care for most people.
One major benefit is the flexibility it provides - clients can choose the mode of communication that works best for them, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and if a different therapeutic fit is desired it is possible to change providers. Overall, online therapy offers an accessible and effective option for addressing many everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
