About
Shirley Savage-Hampton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Nevada with ten years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and attention-related concerns. She draws on an integrative framework that blends cognitive-behavioral tools, client-centered dialogue, and dialectical behavior strategies to respond to each person's needs rather than applying a single formula.
In sessions she helps identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, encourages self-reflection to build agency, and teaches practical coping skills for managing concentration, motivation, and emotional intensity. Her work extends into related areas such as family of origin issues, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care matters, midlife transitions, and end-of-life concerns. Shirley focuses on concrete techniques like mindfulness practices for focus, structured goal-setting for motivation, and skills exercises to strengthen self-esteem.
Shirley frames therapy as a collaborative process. She aims to tailor treatment plans to specific goals and circumstances, offering steady support while helping individuals develop tools they can use beyond the therapy hour.

Remote therapy options
Shirley offers online sessions that use a mix of cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, and dialectical behavior approaches adapted to virtual formats. Using cognitive-behavioral methods, she helps clients notice and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and then translates those insights into manageable, actionable steps during follow-up work. Client-centered conversations prioritize the individual's perspective and goals, creating space for reflection and personal meaning even when meeting remotely.
Dialectical behavior strategies are presented as practical coping skills that can be practiced between appointments, such as emotion regulation and grounding techniques. This combination can suit someone who wants both structured tools and empathic exploration. Shirley conducts sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences and schedules.
When working together remotely, she and the client collaborate on which modalities and tools fit best for the presenting difficulties and the client’s daily routine, then adjust the plan as needed.
