A real human relationship with clinical support and accountability

Technology is changing the pathway into therapy.

Why invest in therapy?

AI, Social Media, and Podcasts are becoming a “first stop” for emotionally overwhelmed adults.

That makes sense. Sometimes it feels safer to start with a screen.

But there comes a point when more information is not the same as feeling supported.

My online practice offers something different:

And when helpful, we can intentionally use AI to create supports tailored to your goals—without mistaking technology for therapy.

A space that can hold complexity while embracing your relationship with technology.

When you work with me, you’re getting a Wisconsin-licensed mental health and substance use counselor with over 20 years of clinical experience.

My approach is practical, evidence-based, and rooted in ACT, CBT, and DBT with the strategic focus and accountability of a coach.

I also bring lived understanding of recovery, chronic illness, and caregiving —so the work can feel both clinically sound and deeply real.

I understand why many people turn to self-help, podcasts, journaling, and AI first. Sometimes those tools help. Sometimes they reach their limit. Many clients come in for a season, then return as needed—because support should be available when life changes, not only when things fall apart.

Hello, I'm Shelley.

You’re not getting a generic, one-size-fits-all approach

about me

E.P.

“I didn’t realize how burned out I was until I couldn’t push anymore. Shelley helped me reset, protect my energy, and build routines I can actually sustain.”

D.S.

“I was taking care of everyone and quietly falling apart. Online therapy with Shelley helped me breathe again, set limits without guilt, and remember I matter too.”

P.R.

“I didn’t need a lecture. Shelley helped me create practical tools for recovery, boundaries, and hard days, and I started trusting myself one choice at a time.”

B.S.

“Shelley helped me trade self-criticism for self-leadership. I learned practical tools to manage stress and still show up with purpose.”

T.P.

“I kept repeating the same pattern—overfunctioning, rescuing, then resentment. Shelley helped me speak up sooner and build healthier give-and-take in my relationships.”
