Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Shelly provides remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and she is available to work with international clients. These options are offered to provide flexible ways to meet and to adapt the format to a client’s preferences and schedules.
In remote work she commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address patterns of thinking and to teach skills for managing emotions and distress. CBT is described in straightforward terms as a way to identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternatives, while DBT emphasizes practical strategies for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating difficult moments.
Shelly also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship and attachment concerns and on client-centered principles to shape the therapeutic relationship. She approaches sessions collaboratively, inviting clients to help set priorities, choose techniques, and pace the work so it aligns with their values and goals.
