About Pamela
Pamela Shultz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Navy veteran who draws on life experience as a parent and service member. She focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship change, and big life transitions. Pamela uses straightforward language and practical steps so people can start feeling steadier right away.
Her sessions emphasize understanding patterns that keep problems cycling. She helps clients notice how thoughts and behaviors link to feelings, and then build small, realistic skills to change those patterns.
Background and approach
Work may include setting clear short-term goals, practicing new coping skills, and tracking progress between sessions. Pamela blends a client-centered style with cognitive tools and mindfulness. That means conversations center on each person's goals while also teaching ways to rethink troubling thoughts and stay present when stress spikes.
Motivational interviewing is used to support readiness for change and to strengthen commitment to recovery or new habits. She brings three years of counseling experience and a focus on substance use and recovery. Pamela also offers support for parenting stress, attachment or adoption-related concerns, caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image, and issues that follow major life events.
Sessions are offered in English and are held online for convenience. Clients who choose to work with Pamela can expect a collaborative plan that mixes practical homework, coping practices, and reflective conversation. The pace is adjusted to each person so change feels achievable rather than overwhelming.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps set goals that feel meaningful and doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to build new behaviors that reduce anxiety and stress. Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn simple exercises to stay present and calm when emotions run high; this is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pamela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That process may include trying different techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting plans so progress is steady and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people meet face-to-face without travel, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep momentum between sessions.
