About Selina

Selina Wilkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people feel steadier in daily life. She offers calm guidance for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Selina writes plainly and meets people where they are, helping them take small, useful steps toward feeling better. She draws on methods such as the Gottman Method to support relationship concerns and attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current connections.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are used to address unhelpful thoughts and build clearer values-driven action. Sessions emphasize concrete skills and real-world practice.

Selina brings 22 years of counseling experience in Michigan to her work. She aims to create a caring, nonjudgmental space where people can name what’s hard and try new ways of coping.

The tone in sessions is collaborative and focused on practical next steps. Clients often work on managing emotions, improving communication, and handling life changes like loss, career shifts, or health challenges.

Selina also supports concerns such as addiction, ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, and chronic pain by breaking issues into manageable parts. Therapy is tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

Selina partners with clients to build skills, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed. She encourages straightforward, steady work toward a more balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Selina uses several clear, practical approaches that adapt well to online work. The Gottman Method is used to look at interaction patterns and teach concrete ways to improve communication and emotional connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values rather than getting stuck by feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current responses and helps people develop healthier ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Selina collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so sessions stay useful and relevant to real life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth or easier when typing is not preferred, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports shorter daily reflections or homework. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations.
