About Shelly

Shelly Hendley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate addictions, relationship patterns, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of clinical trainings to offer practical, person-centered support for those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. Her work often centers on building clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and tools for managing anxiety or substance use in everyday life.

Her style blends warmth with honest, direct guidance: clients can expect empathic listening paired with gentle challenge when it serves growth. Shelly uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method for relationship work, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor interventions to each person's needs.

She also pays attention to multicultural concerns and the role that faith and identity can play in a person's healing journey. Shelly brings three years of clinical experience to her practice and works with clients through a format that fits their pace, personality, and goals.

Approaches that guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, creating a space where the client's values and goals shape the work and progress moves at a personally appropriate pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be helpful for anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, and mood shifts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who want skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows techniques to be mixed and adapted over time so treatment remains relevant and responsive to change.

Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and practice new skills between meetings while staying connected with a licensed professional who can guide the work.
