About Shellene
Shellene Hattersley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Florida. She brings seven years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people make practical changes that fit their daily lives.
Shellene listens first to understand each person's story and immediate needs. She works with clients to set simple, realistic goals and builds steps toward those goals together.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize skills people can use between meetings to handle emotions, improve communication, and cope with life changes. Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-based tools. That means she follows the client's lead while offering techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when they match a person's goals.
The focus is on clarity, small experiments, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Shellene pays attention to how past hurts affect present choices, including attachment and abandonment concerns. She also supports people facing body image issues, caregiver stress, divorce or separation, and fallout from trauma or mood disorders.
She frames these problems in everyday terms and helps clients find ways to feel more in control. People who do best with her have a willingness to try new skills and to reflect on patterns in their relationships and daily life. Sessions are practical, respectful, and paced to each person's comfort level.
Shellene aims to help clients build resilience and move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. Online sessions let the therapist ask questions, reflect what she hears, and help clients set goals that feel doable. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It offers step-by-step skills useful for intense emotions or relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try techniques together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps tailor which methods are used and how they are mixed over time.
Online therapy with Shellene can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
