Shelly Slaton

Shelly Slaton is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and big life changes. Shelly uses straightforward methods to help people who feel stuck or unsure what comes next. Shelly focuses on concrete tools and short-term strategies as well as deeper exploration when needed. Sessions often include practical skills for managing anxiety and depression, ways to improve communication, and steps to handle grief or loss. She combines problem-solving work with attention to how past patterns affect present choices. Her background across two decades means she has seen many common patterns - from codependency and commitment worries to body image and caregiver stress. That experience informs questions she asks and the techniques she suggests. She pays attention to how attachment issues and abandonment concerns show up in relationships. In session Shelly will outline clear goals, try specific techniques, and check what does or does not help. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness methods, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy as tools. Those approaches are used to break unhelpful cycles and to test small changes that can shift daily life. Shelly practices in Texas and conducts work in English. People are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking a first appointment. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Online sessions with Shelly draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that fit remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce distress and improve routines. Mindfulness Therapy involves learning simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of emotions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shelly will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to try first, check what feels helpful, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. The practical benefits of remote sessions are about fitting therapy into daily life. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice new skills between meetings in the context of their real routines.
