About
Shelly Wims is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with three years of clinical experience in behavioral health. She has worked with adolescents and adults facing a broad range of mental health and substance use challenges, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, ADHD, and substance use disorders. Her practice also includes supporting people who have experienced trauma, emotional abuse, and significant life stressors.
Shelly favors a warm, interactive, client-centered approach that emphasizes empathy and respect. She strives to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and can explore their concerns. Treatment is tailored to individual goals and strengths rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
In her clinical work she uses established techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and cognitive reframing to address thought patterns, coping skills, motivation, and emotion regulation. Shelly works collaboratively with each person to set priorities and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms related to stress, grief, depression, addiction, and other presenting concerns.

Remote care and therapeutic methods
Shelly provides online options that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow for ongoing conversation and skill practice outside of in-person settings and can be selected based on client preference and needs.
Her remote work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Shelly also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are considering change but may feel uncertain about next steps.
Clients who appreciate structured skill-building, collaborative goal setting, and reflective conversation may find this combination a good fit. Through chat, phone, or video, she and each client work together to choose strategies, set achievable goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
