About Shelley
Shelley Duncan is a licensed clinician practicing in Kansas with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday struggles and listens first to understand each person's situation. Shelley works with people facing stress and anxiety, sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.
She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, career challenges, and relationship or family tensions. Her approach is direct and respectful, and she adapts conversations to each person's needs.
Background and approach
In sessions Shelley uses simple, goal-focused techniques to help identify patterns that keep problems going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try new responses and notice change. Clients can expect straightforward tools and steps to practice between meetings.
Shelley also brings experience with topics like adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She tailors work to the specific issue someone brings rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. The first meeting is used to clarify goals and figure out what feels most useful.
Shelley aims to make sessions a place for honest talk, practical problem solving, and steady progress. If someone wants steady, workable strategies for managing strong emotions or life transitions, she can help map that path.

How Shelley Uses CBT Online and What to Expect
She works primarily with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns, try different responses, and build new habits that reduce anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shelley will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they track what works and adjust the plan so sessions stay focused on practical progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people work face to face and practice skills in the moment. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or continuing skills between longer sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions from work breaks, while traveling, or when a quieter moment is available.
