About Shelley
Shelley Schneider is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience helping adults handle stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and offers steady, practical care for people facing illness, caregiving strain, loss, and transitions. Shelley focuses on problem solving.
She helps people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions, then teaches ways to shift those patterns. Sessions are calm and respectful, with room for empathy alongside frank feedback.
How Shelley works
Her practice pays attention to aging and geriatric issues, cancer and hospice concerns, and the pressures that come with caregiving. She also works with people dealing with codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and the isolation that can follow big life changes. Shelley uses well-known, hands-on methods rather than long talks alone.
She aims for clear goals and steps clients can try between sessions. That approach can help with coping, grief work, and rebuilding a sense of purpose. Based in Florida, Shelley offers sessions in English.
Her long experience gives her a broad view of common struggles and practical ways to face them. People who want straightforward guidance and steady support often find her style direct but nurturing.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is practical and goal-oriented, and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching steps people can practice between sessions.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small workable changes and building on what already works. Sessions often set clear, short-term goals and emphasize practical strategies to move forward from specific problems.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shelley will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on results.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for detailed conversations, phone can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a regular routine and keep momentum toward goals.
