About Selene
Selene Negrette welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, or life changes. She is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 17 years of experience. Selene aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental presence and practical steps so clients can feel steadier day to day.
She focuses on what a person needs now and helps name small, manageable goals. Sessions emphasize understanding how emotions and body sensations show up.
How Selene works
Selene uses approaches that help people notice patterns, practice new skills, and make choices that match their values. Over her career she has worked with adults on trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues with self-esteem and anger. She also addresses attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and grief related to hospice and end-of-life care.
Her work includes tools from Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and somatic practices. Those tools are used to reduce overwhelm, build coping skills, and support emotional regulation after trauma. Selene offers services in English and Spanish and practices from Michigan.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping each person identify what matters most and testing small changes that lead to better daily functioning.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following what matters to the client. In practice this means sessions focus on a person's goals, values, and what feels most important in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with clearer, more effective alternatives to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in heated moments.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to try approaches that match their needs and goals, then adjusts those tools as progress is reviewed. This makes therapy a team effort rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or handling quick concerns. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep up with regular support.
