About Shelli
Shelli Sheppard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 26 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, difficulty concentrating, and life adjustments. She also supports people dealing with ADHD related focus issues and the emotional fallout of major changes.
Shelli uses practical conversation to identify what is getting in the way day to day. She works with clients to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try different responses. Sessions focus on real-life problems and small, observable steps to make things more manageable.
Her style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered listening and solution-focused techniques. She also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to look at the different parts of how someone thinks and reacts. The emphasis is on clear strategies and on skills people can use between sessions.
People can expect straightforward goal setting and short-term tools alongside deeper work when it’s needed. Shelli adjusts discussion and plans based on what the person brings to sessions. Her approach is practical and organized, aimed at reducing stuck patterns and improving daily functioning.
She works in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session, which lets her and the client set initial goals and plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT helps people spot automatic thoughts and test different behaviors. Online sessions using CBT often focus on short exercises, homework tasks, and role practice to change daily habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses reflective listening to clarify what matters most; online meetings can make it easier to bring current concerns straight into conversation.Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable changes and on what works now. In an online context this can mean setting brief goals and checking progress each session so adjustments happen quickly. Shelli treats choosing an approach as a collaborative step. She and the client review goals, preferences, and how problems show up, then decide which tools to try first and when to shift strategies.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Ask about session length or whether brief check-ins are available if you need shorter contacts. Online work can make scheduling easier, cut travel time, and allow sessions to fit around work or caregiving demands while keeping the focus on practical strategies and skills practice.
