About Shelly
Shelly Daniel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 10 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She also works with people facing relationship strain, addiction issues, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.
Shelly focuses on practical skills that change day-to-day life. She helps clients learn emotion regulation, coping strategies, and clearer communication. She uses solution-focused steps alongside mindfulness and cognitive approaches to reduce worry and mood symptoms.
Her work emphasizes identifying strengths and realistic next steps. Shelly asks what is already working, then builds on those parts. That can mean practicing new ways of thinking, trying different behaviors, and checking what helps in real life.
She prefers to collaborate with people who are ready to try new ways of thinking and doing. Sessions are a mix of talking, skill practice, and planning. Shelly aims to support progress with steady, straightforward guidance.
Over time she helps clients strengthen relationships with others and with themselves. Areas she often addresses include family-origin difficulties, communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, and forgiveness. The approach is practical and skill-based, meant to fit into everyday life.
How sessions work
Approaches used remotely and what they involve
Client-centered therapy focuses on how a person experiences the world and aims to increase self-awareness and self-directed change. It helps with feeling stuck and improving decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical tools to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shelly collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most in daily life.
The practical benefits of doing therapy online include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy routine. Online work can make it simpler to attend from different locations, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between appointments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to know whether video, phone, or other arrangements are offered.
