About Shelly
Shelly Daniel is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people strengthen relationships and cope with life's stresses. She uses a practical, skills-based approach to address anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
Shelly brings a warm, straightforward manner to sessions and aims to help clients make small, useful changes that add up over time. She draws on Gottman Method ideas when helping people improve communication and reduce conflict in important relationships.
Shelly also uses client-centered principles to listen deeply and help clients set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral strategies are a common part of her work when shifting unhelpful thinking and building new habits.
With ten years of experience, Shelly focuses on real-life coping skills such as emotion regulation, problem solving, and mindful living. She helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain find clearer next steps.
Her style emphasizes strengths, practical tools, and steady support rather than quick fixes. Shelly works with many issues that show up in everyday life, including parenting stress, family patterns, attachment concerns, career strain, and chronic anger or low self-esteem.
She also addresses aging and caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and take place with a licensed professional based in Georgia.
Shelly encourages people who are ready to try new ways of thinking and behaving to consider a collaborative, step-by-step approach to change.
How counseling approaches translate to online work
Shelly combines a few practical approaches to help people make steady changes. The Gottman Method is used to teach clearer communication, reduce repeated conflicts, and rebuild connection in close relationships. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and adapting to the person in front of her so goals come from the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools for noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shelly works with clients to identify their goals and preferences, then tries methods that match those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques if something isn’t helping, so the work stays practical and goal-directed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into life. Video sessions let people read facial cues and practice interaction skills. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing skill work, and flexible timing between scheduled sessions.
