She encourages honest conversation and helps people sit with discomfort so change can happen. Sessions aim to build small, manageable skills that make daily life easier and more predictable.
Background and approach
She uses approaches that focus on how people relate to others and how thoughts affect feelings and actions. That might look like talking through patterns from early relationships, testing out new ways to communicate, or trying small behavior changes to ease anxiety and panic. Shantelle also uses brief, goal-focused strategies when people want clear steps toward a specific problem.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across Missouri and Kansas, supporting people through trauma, grief, parenting strain, and career stress. She describes counseling as a team effort where the client’s priorities guide each session. Shantelle aims to help people rebuild hope and a sense of purpose at their own pace.
Sessions are intended to feel warm and nonjudgmental while staying practical. She works to help people restore calm, reconnect with what matters, and move forward from difficult experiences.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. Online sessions use conversation and guided reflection to notice those patterns and try different ways of relating that reduce conflict and isolation.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment. In virtual sessions this means the therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead, and helps them find their own answers at a comfortable pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. When delivered online CBT can include short exercises between sessions, thought records, and practical behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and panic attacks.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. They will try approaches collaboratively and adapt them as needed so sessions match the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text work well for quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
