About Shelley
Shelley Schneider is an LCSW who works with adults in Florida, combining decades of clinical experience with a practical, problem-solving orientation. She focuses on common life challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem concerns, and coping with significant changes including divorce and aging.
Background and approach
Her work also encompasses caregiving strain, cancer-related issues, codependency, and concerns about isolation and life purpose. Shelley emphasizes the role of thought patterns in shaping emotions and behavior, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thinking.
She also integrates Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to identify strengths and build clear, attainable goals. Her sessions are described by her approach as calm, respectful, and balanced between empathy and directness, with an aim toward practical progress and improved day-to-day functioning.
With 35 years of practice, Shelley brings seasoned judgment to each client's situation while tailoring strategies to individual needs. She provides services in English from her Florida practice and offers multiple online formats to accommodate different preferences and schedules.
Practical approaches for online healing and change
Shelley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors; this approach focuses on small, testable shifts in thinking that can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on clients strengths and immediate goals to create clear steps toward change and build momentum for progress.Choosing the right approach is collaborative, and Shelley views treatment planning as a shared process. She works with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors interventions and adjusts strategies over time so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy with Shelley is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels with technology. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and to access licensed professional support from various locations within Florida, while preserving the same goal-oriented and practical focus she uses in her in-person practice.
