About Shea
Shea Kamp is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Illinois with five years of experience. She focuses on helping people sort through intense emotions and difficult life changes. Shea works with individuals facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and anger.
Her approach is respectful and direct, aiming to match the work to each person’s needs. She uses practical strategies during sessions so people can see small changes quickly.
Background and approach
That might include skills for managing strong feelings, short exercises to build awareness, and questions that help clarify motivation. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with room to process painful memories when needed. Shea blends Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, mindfulness approaches, and motivational interviewing techniques.
This mix supports emotional regulation, clearer decision making, and steady progress toward goals. She explains tools in plain language and practices them together with clients so the skills feel usable in everyday life. She will tailor a plan to a person’s situation and rework it as needs change.
That flexibility helps people who are juggling work, caregiving, or health challenges. Shea aims to make sessions feel like practical problem-solving rather than academic instruction. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The format can be chosen based on what fits a client’s schedule and comfort. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Approaches Shea lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Online approaches that teach emotion skills
Shea uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help people manage intense emotions and reduce reactive behavior. DBT skills focus on distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness so people can make clearer choices when upset.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises in sessions are simple and practical, helping people notice thoughts and feelings before they drive behavior.
Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify a person’s priorities and enhance motivation for change. This approach involves asking focused questions and reflecting back what matters to the person to support commitment to goals.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Shea will talk through options, try techniques collaboratively, and adjust plans based on each person’s goals and preferences. That way the methods match the problem and feel useful in daily life.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and exercise demonstrations. Phone works when camera use isn’t convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are handy for shorter check-ins, coaching between sessions, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different formats as needs change.
