About Selina

Selina Wilkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and issues tied to self-esteem and motivation. She also addresses parenting-related strain and relationship and family challenges.

Selina uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches to help people manage everyday problems. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer understanding of patterns that get in the way. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.

Her background includes approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She brings these methods together with attachment ideas and a client-centered stance to address emotional regulation, habit change, and interpersonal concerns.

Clients who struggle with addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, or ADHD can expect work on coping strategies, thinking patterns, and step-by-step behavior changes. She also supports people facing life changes such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and career transitions.

Sessions often include skill practice, reflection on relationship patterns, and clear plans for small, manageable steps between meetings. The focus is on helping people reduce overwhelming feelings and build routines that fit daily life. Selina invites anyone ready to start to use the site's scheduling flow to set up a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches adapt to online sessions

Selina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps that reflect those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that support goals, which can help with stress, anxiety, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early and current bonds affect behavior and feelings; it can be useful for communication problems and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and homework, which is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust as needed. That process helps reveal which techniques fit best for the practical problems being addressed, and sessions can combine methods when appropriate.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists can assign short exercises between meetings and work on communication skills that translate into home routines. Confirm exact session styles and scheduling details through the site's booking flow before your first appointment.
