Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My degrees encompass Christian Counseling with a Theology minor from Fort Wayne Bible College. A Psychology /Industrial Psychology BS from University of St. Francis and a Masters Degree in Psychology also from the University of St. Francis. My theory of approach is from William Glasser’s work on Reality Therapy. How is helping you to do what you do? What do you need to do about that? And, when do you want to Change? I marry that with Christian Counseling applications. Not only do I teach people how to study the Word, but how to apply it to their own lives in todays world. I work best with teens, individual issues, marriage counseling, widows, widowers, new normal life skills. Interview for a new job, nutrition suggestions, personality and behavior issues, and how to deal with difficult people. And, especially Emotional Forgiveness Skills.

Shirley Souder holds a degree in Christian Counseling with a theology minor from Fort Wayne Bible College, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Industrial Psychology from the University of St. Francis, and a master’s degree in Psychology from the University of St. Francis.
Her therapeutic approach draws on William Glasser’s Reality Therapy, emphasizing practical questions about how current choices are supporting a person’s goals, what needs to change, and when that change should begin. She integrates those principles with Christian Counseling applications, teaching clients how to study the Word and apply it to everyday life in today’s world.
Shirley works particularly well with teens and with individuals facing marital or family transitions, including widows and widowers adapting to a new normal. She also focuses on individual concerns such as interview preparation for a new job, nutrition suggestions, personality and behavior issues, strategies for dealing with difficult people, and especially Emotional Forgiveness Skills.
She brings 40 years of experience to her practice and is licensed in Indiana as both a marriage and family therapist and as a clinical social worker (license numbers: IN LMFT 35001030A and IN LCSW 34002624A). Shirley is based in Indiana and offers a professional, faith-informed approach to counseling.
Many people ask whether therapy delivered online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that works best for them, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit consistent care into a busy schedule.
Clients work with licensed professionals and have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many individuals facing everyday challenges, online therapy provides an accessible and effective way to pursue support and growth.
