About Shalanie
Shalanie Goueth is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California with 12 years of practice. She works with people facing relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.

Shalanie approaches sessions with a straightforward, practical style. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. In conversation she helps people name what feels difficult and tries simple steps to reduce overwhelm.
Her work usually involves talking through specific situations and practicing different ways to respond. She helps people notice patterns in relationships, manage reactions tied to past hurt, and try small changes that improve daily functioning. Sessions often include rehearsal of skills and planning for how to use them between meetings.
She recognizes making the first call can feel hard. Shalanie aims to make the start predictable by explaining how she works and what to expect in early sessions. She supports clients as they try new strategies and check what does or does not help.
Her background is rooted in 12 years of clinical experience in California. That time includes supporting people through separation, workplace conflict, trauma reactions, and social anxiety. She works in English and does not take international clients at this time.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Shalanie draws on straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real situations. One common approach she uses is skills-based work that teaches practical ways to respond to anxiety or conflict, such as breathing strategies, grounding, and communication exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach centers on processing reactions tied to past hurt, helping people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and try different responses in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques to try first, review what helps, and adapt plans as goals change. That process is shared and iterative, with regular check-ins about progress and adjustments.
Confirm the precise session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to practice communication or coping skills in a familiar routine, and to follow up on homework between meetings.
