Shelly Daniel

Shelly Daniel is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical steps people can take to feel better. She is an LCSW and CSW with ten years of experience helping clients manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions.

She enjoys helping people identify strengths and build useful thinking habits. Sessions emphasize emotion regulation, healthy coping skills, and clearer communication. Shelly works with clients who are ready to try new ways of thinking and behaving and who want actionable tools to improve daily life.

Shelly uses a strengths-focused approach and collaborates with each person to set realistic goals. She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practices skills together in session. Her style is steady, empathic, and practical - she aims to make therapy feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Her background includes a decade of clinical experience in Georgia, and she brings an emphasis on solution-building and interpersonal effectiveness. Shelly also integrates mindfulness practices to support attention and emotional balance when helpful.

Clients often explore concerns such as coping with life changes, addictions, parenting stress, attachment and family of origin issues, and workplace or career strain. Shelly supports people through major transitions and everyday pressures with focused, down-to-earth guidance.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building a trusting working relationship, which helps when someone needs to sort out feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches tools to change unhelpful habits; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shelly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so clients practice skills and try small changes between meetings, and decisions about techniques are made together.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness and homework practices in the context of their everyday routines, which can speed up habit changes and make new skills stick.
