About Shanelle
Shanelle Slade is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings six years of combined clinical and related experience to sessions. She uses straightforward, practical approaches to help people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or angry.
Shanelle focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar concerns, and anger management. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, and career or life changes. Additional focus areas include first responder issues, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and non-monogamous relationship topics.
Background and approach
Her style is client-centered and solution-focused. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal oriented, with room for people to speak openly without judgment. She draws from therapies that teach skills, build emotional insight, and support motivation to change.
Shanelle has experience working with mood and anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, personality and substance-use concerns, and relationship difficulties. That background guides practical strategies for coping and managing symptoms day to day. She aims to help people build tools they can use between sessions.
People who choose her often want clear steps and supportive guidance. The first meetings typically clarify goals and priorities. From there she and the person work together to try strategies that match their needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which is often helpful for stress, depression, and sleep issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses an open, nonjudgmental stance to build trust and clarity, especially when someone needs space to talk through relationship or identity concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what’s working.
Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a short break or lower-bandwidth situations, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when writing out thoughts is easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
