About Shelley
Shelley Dodt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical skills and steady support. She uses mindfulness and down-to-earth conversation to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Shelley aims to help clients find clearer direction and feel more capable in day-to-day life.
Shelley listens carefully and encourages clients to notice what is working in their lives. She teaches simple coping tools and skills so people can spot potential triggers and respond differently.
Background and approach
The work often involves building self-awareness and using small, manageable steps to shift unhelpful habits. Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with mindfulness practices. That means clients look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, while learning ways to stay calm and present.
Shelley also uses motivational interviewing to help people find motivation for change and solution-focused strategies to set practical goals. Sessions commonly explore relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and career issues. Shelley also supports people dealing with mood disorders, panic, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related struggles.
She helps LGBT clients and women who want focused guidance on life transitions. Shelley draws on five years of clinical experience in Florida. She emphasizes kindness, compassion, and a touch of humor in sessions.
The goal is to help people feel better, make clearer decisions, and move toward the life they want.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice how thoughts influence feelings and actions and then practice different ways of responding. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday struggles because it focuses on clear steps and exercises you can do between sessions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment. It helps people pause before acting on strong emotions and is used for stress, anger, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Shelley works collaboratively to find the best fit for each person. She will discuss goals, preferences, and which methods feel most helpful. Together they adjust techniques over time so the approach matches practical needs and what actually helps day to day.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation for learning skills and practicing exercises. Phone sessions can fit easily into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are suited to shorter check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or steady support between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real life.
