Background and approach

Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work are used to help people test new ways of thinking and build small, achievable steps forward. Shella aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative process. She helps clients set clear, realistic goals and checks in regularly about progress.

Conversations are meant to be direct but kind, with attention to what is useful right now. Outside of work she is a wife, a mother, and a dog owner who enjoys travel and family time. That perspective informs a practical, grounded style in the therapy room.

People who choose Shella can expect to leave sessions with concrete tools and simple action steps. She focuses on manageable changes that fit into daily life and helps people track what works and what needs adjusting.

04Online support

How these approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. Online sessions let the therapist follow your lead, helping you name what matters and try different approaches. This style is useful when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort thoughts and feelings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. In online sessions CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking, test new ideas, and practice small behavioral changes between meetings. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress management.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on goals and next steps instead of only the problem. When done online it supports quick planning, short-term goals, and tracking progress in everyday life. It can be a good fit for people who want concrete tools and a clear action plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shella will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face to face, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when typing is easier. These options make it possible to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
