01About Shelley
Shelley Aeschliman helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, working from Wisconsin and brings 14 years of experience to sessions. Shelley aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Shelley uses plain talk and a collaborative style. She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she helps set clear, manageable goals and tries different ways to reach them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings as well as on making sense of painful patterns. Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, communication and commitment problems, codependency, and issues tied to family of origin. Shelley also supports people struggling with impulsivity, control issues, guilt and shame, and co-occurring mood concerns.
She brings multiple approaches to fit the situation rather than one fixed method. In practice she blends client-centered work with cognitive and behavioral tools and elements of emotion-focused and dialectical approaches. That combination helps when people need both emotional processing and practical skills.
Shelley keeps explanations clear and sessions focused on small, useful changes. People who reach out will be guided through a short intake and a plan that fits their life. Shelley encourages patience and steady work, and she frames therapy as a sequence of small steps toward clearer thinking and healthier ways of relating.

How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The therapist listens carefully and reflects what matters to the client, helping people find their own solutions and build confidence in decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills; it can help when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the situation and adjust plans as progress is made, keeping the client involved in decisions about therapy style and pacing.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support different needs. Video offers face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a busy day, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, and family life.
