About Shelley

Shelley Goldstein is an LPC based in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, supportive presence to her work and emphasizes a strengths-based style that helps clients build practical skills and greater self-understanding.

Background and approach

Shelley draws on therapeutic tools that aim to reduce stress and anxiety, address ADHD-related challenges, and support identity exploration and life transitions. Her practice also addresses a broad range of concerns including relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and body image, eating difficulties, and coping with major life changes.

Shelley uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each client’s needs. Sessions are offered in English to people located in Texas, and she does not accept international clients.

Shelley frames therapy as collaborative and practical, helping clients set goals and try strategies that fit their circumstances. Her counseling mixes empathy with problem-solving to help clients manage symptoms, strengthen communication, and navigate challenging moments with more confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Many of Shelley’s sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR to support emotional processing and meaningful behavior change. ACT helps clients clarify values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning skills to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. EMDR is a structured approach used to process traumatic or disturbing memories and reduce the intensity of distressing reactions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Shelley works together with clients to identify goals, try appropriate techniques, and adjust methods as needed so the therapy aligns with each person’s needs and preferences. The plan evolves based on progress, feedback, and what feels most effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Shelley uses flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, combine real-time conversations with written check-ins, and continue work through transitions or busy periods, while keeping the focus on practical goals and therapeutic progress.
