About Selina

Selina Wilkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who integrates cognitive behavioral principles with compassion to help clients navigate life’s challenges.

Background and approach

With 22 years of clinical experience in Michigan, she focuses on practical strategies that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and mood concerns while also addressing grief, anger, self-esteem, and motivation. Her work blends structured interventions with an empathetic, client-centered stance to support measurable change over time.

Selina creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult feelings, understand patterns that maintain distress, and develop skills for healthier coping. She also brings attention to relational and identity concerns including intimacy-related issues, LGBT matters, family dynamics, and communication or commitment challenges.

Additional areas she addresses include ADHD, chronic illness and pain, caregiver strain, body image, and transitions such as adoption, aging, and blended family adjustments. Therapy with Selina emphasizes collaboration: she tailors evidence-informed methods to each person’s goals while honoring individual values and experiences.

Prospective clients are invited to begin by scheduling an appointment and completing a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit based on availability and needs.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Selina frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice more effective coping strategies; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day difficulties. She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values-based action and learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and emotions rather than trying to eliminate them, often supporting those facing grief, chronic pain, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Selina works with each person to clarify goals, try techniques that fit their preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so therapy aligns with the client's needs and values.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are hard to arrange, while allowing for skill practice and real-time support in a format that suits the client.
