About Shanelle
Shanelle Slade is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship struggles. Her approach aims to be warm, nonjudgmental, and practical so people can speak openly and make steady changes.
Shanelle blends several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values and move toward meaningful action.
How Shanelle works
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that affect moods and behavior. Client-centered techniques create a collaborative space where the person leads the pace and content of sessions. Her background includes work with mood disorders, bipolar conditions, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
She also supports people navigating parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and coping with life transitions. Additional experience covers first responder issues, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and non-monogamous relationships. Shanelle emphasizes goal-focused work that still allows room for empathy and reflection.
Sessions often combine short-term problem solving with skills practice people can use between meetings. She accepts international clients and offers services in English. People typically connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits the person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most to a person and taking small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns that maintain mood and behavior problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and topics for work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will choose or combine methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people exchange thoughts between sessions or use written check-ins during busy days. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the therapeutic work consistent.
