Practical exercises might include breathing and mindfulness for concentration, short action plans for motivation, and skill practice to strengthen self-esteem. Shirley has worked with adults across a range of concerns for a decade.
She also addresses related areas such as adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, family of origin problems, grief and end-of-life matters, and isolation.

Online support
Evidence-based skills and flexible online care
Shirley frequently uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts. Those tools are practical and aimed at changing thought patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or difficulty concentrating.She also uses client-centered conversations that focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people name their goals. This approach supports self-reflection and helps people feel more empowered to make changes.
Dialectical behavior strategies are used when skill-building is helpful for managing strong emotions, impulsivity, or stress. These include simple emotion regulation and grounding practices that can be practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat offer brief check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when schedules change.
