Online session options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Shelby uses Narrative ideas to help people separate themselves from problems and retell parts of their life story in a more helpful way. That approach can be useful for people struggling with identity, body image, or ongoing patterns they want to change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values. That method is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships shape current patterns and aim to build safer, more satisfying connections.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of Shelby's process. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try approaches that suit their needs and preferences. Sessions are framed as experiments where strategies are tested and adjusted over time so the work feels relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different days and rhythms. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone is useful when bandwidth is low or for brief check-ins, and chat or messaging can support short updates and skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or caregiving schedules.
