About Perrin
Perrin "Shalea" Addison is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Texas. She draws on three years of clinical work to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also helps parents who are juggling the demands of family life and emotional strain.
She focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and collaborative. She listens for each person's values and life context and uses that to guide the work together.
Background and approach
Perrin pays attention to how faith and culture shape a person's experience. She aims to respect those elements while helping clients build resilience and clearer coping skills. Sessions emphasize small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Her style blends empathy with direct problem solving. She helps clients notice patterns, try new responses, and track progress. The goal is to make emotional challenges feel more manageable, one step at a time.
People who choose her often want a therapist who combines understanding with concrete tools. She offers video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging so clients can pick what fits their life. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that target thinking patterns and coping skills. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce worry and low mood; it helps people notice triggers and practice new ways of responding. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing stress and trauma-related symptoms through pacing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies that can be used during difficult moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods suit a person's goals, values, and day-to-day needs. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, shorter updates, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats add flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives.
