Practical Approaches, Flexible Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be especially helpful when stress, self-doubt, or competing priorities are interfering with career goals or leadership growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. By identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new responses, clients can build clearer thinking and more effective habits for communication, decision-making, and day-to-day performance.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps clients strengthen their own reasons for change. It can be a good fit when someone feels ambivalent about a next step, such as making a career shift, taking on more responsibility, or setting healthier boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shelly Rivello works collaboratively with clients to understand needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts the work to support steady progress in a way that feels practical and sustainable.

Online therapy makes it easier to get support in a format that fits real life. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, with the added flexibility of live chat or text-based messaging between sessions.
