Background and approach
Then she helps people build skills and routines that match their goals and day-to-day demands. Her background includes over a decade of clinical experience in Georgia, with work across concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, and low self-esteem. She brings experience supporting people with sleep problems, grief, parenting stress, anger, and career-related strain.
She also works with neurodiverse presentations and long-term conditions like chronic pain and bipolar when these are part of a person’s story. Therapy sessions are practical and solution-minded, with attention to feelings and relationships when they matter. Techniques draw from client-centered conversation, cognitive-behavioral tools, emotion-focused work, mindfulness, and short-term solution strategies.
The aim is to leave people with clearer choices and everyday skills they can use between sessions. Shalette encourages honest, straightforward talk about setbacks and progress. She supports people who are ready to try new ways of coping, adjust patterns that no longer serve them, and regain a sense of control over daily life.
How therapy approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and working from each person's goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters, and helps people name their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. It is useful for sleep trouble, worry, low mood, and many everyday problems.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adapt plans as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing support with brief check-ins and written reflections between scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when travel or scheduling changes occur.
