About Shelley
Shelley Goldstein is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, self-esteem problems, ADHD, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, parenting challenges, depression, and coping with life changes.
Before her LPC work she spent time as a school counselor and a teacher, which shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step strategies people can use between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about.
Shelley uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix means she can help people notice what matters to them, build useful skills, and address painful memories when needed. She will discuss which approaches might fit each person’s situation.
People who reach out usually want to reduce anxiety, handle disruptive moods, manage attention differences, or recover from past hurts. Counseling can include practical skills for daily life, work on communication, and focused work on trauma or grief when relevant.
Sessions are in English and follow a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time. Shelley does not take international clients. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the site’s online options.
How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It uses simple exercises to clarify values and build behavior change over time. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses listening and reflection to support clearer thinking and decision making.Shelley combines these approaches with targeted methods when needed, such as EMDR for processing painful memories and Solution-Focused techniques for short-term goal work. She works with clients to decide which approaches fit their situation, goals, and preferences rather than imposing one method.
Check the current session options before booking to confirm how she runs online meetings. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. The therapist will discuss session length and practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling steps so you can pick what works best for your routine.
