About Shelly
Shelly Daniel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, addictions, and major life changes. She also works with issues like attachment, codependency, caregiver strain, and career concerns. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking to handle daily challenges.
Shelly emphasizes skill-building and problem solving. She uses approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and improve communication. She talks through emotion regulation, coping strategies, and steps to reduce harmful patterns. The aim is straightforward: try something different, see what helps, and adjust from there.
Her background centers on client-focused work that highlights strengths and workable steps. That includes practicing mindful awareness, teaching coping tools, and offering structured strategies to break cycles that keep problems going. Shelly describes her work as collaborative and action-oriented rather than purely talk-based.
People who usually do best with her are ready to try new ways of thinking and behaving. She supports goal setting and small experiments to test changes between sessions. Conversations tend to be practical, with clear skills to practice and simple ways to track progress.
Shelly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to shape sessions. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method where relevant. This combination is used to address emotional regulation, relationships, and coping skills without promising any specific outcome.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Shelly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT emphasizes clear homework tasks, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step problem solving, which often fits well with short practice exercises between meetings.She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on the person's perspective and goals, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-centered work centers on what matters to the client, while DBT supplies specific tools for handling strong emotions and building interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shelly collaborates with clients to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying CBT exercises for a few sessions, then adding mindfulness or DBT skills if those feel helpful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in their everyday settings. Therapists can coordinate practical assignments and track progress between meetings to keep momentum.
