About Shelley
Shelley Mondelli greets people with a straightforward, respectful approach. She is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience working directly with clients. Shelley focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions.
She also helps with concerns around self-esteem, family stress, and panic attacks. Shelley aims to make sessions feel practical and real. She listens for what matters most and adjusts conversations to match each person's needs.
How Shelley works
That means creating small, doable steps to reduce anxiety, manage cravings, or build self-worth. Shelley emphasizes sensitivity and respect in how she speaks and plans treatment. Her background includes long-term involvement in mental health over two decades, with five years in a licensed counseling role.
That combination gives familiarity with common patterns people face and with day-to-day coping strategies that actually help. Shelley draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work in session. People can expect a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all script.
Shelley works collaboratively to set goals and measure progress. She encourages clients to try things between sessions and then review what helps and what needs changing. Starting therapy can feel hard, and Shelley acknowledges that step.
She will meet clients where they are, offer steady support, and adapt the pace to what feels manageable.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are practical tools that guide Shelley's online work. She uses approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then testing small changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Another common strand is relapse prevention for addictions, which involves planning for triggers and building simple coping steps to use when urges arise.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Shelley will review your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you will check what gains traction, adjust strategies, and choose different techniques if something is not working. The process is about teamwork and steady progress rather than one fixed method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction across distances, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can provide a quicker check-in, and text-based messaging supports brief updates or coping prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily routines while keeping momentum on your goals.
