About Shelly

Shelly Hendley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, low self-esteem, ADHD, and major life changes. She writes plainly and meets people where they are. Her manner is warm but direct, offering both support and practical challenge to promote growth.

She draws from several approaches, including Gottman Method principles for relationship work, cognitive-behavioral strategies for changing thoughts and habits, and client-centered listening to make people feel heard.

Background and approach

Shelly also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and motivational interviewing when those tools fit the situation. Shelly likes to keep sessions collaborative and paced to the person's needs. She focuses on clear communication, boundary-setting, and skills for coping with stress and cravings.

When addiction is part of the picture, she combines motivational techniques with concrete planning to help people move toward change. Growing up overseas and working with cross-cultural communities informs her sensitivity to identity and belonging. She is comfortable discussing spiritual or faith-related concerns when that is important to the person in therapy.

Her approach respects cultural context while focusing on actionable steps. Sessions can include work on forgiveness, life purpose, social anxiety, and seasonal mood shifts. People who want straightforward feedback alongside empathic listening often find her style helpful.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Gottman Method principles offer clear ways to improve communication and rebuild connection in stressed relationships; online sessions can use these ideas for teaching skills, guided conversations, and problem-solving. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, so the therapist listens with curiosity and follows what matters most to the person in each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching practical tools to change them, which works well through video or messaging when people want homework and skill practice.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether Gottman ideas, CBT, client-centered work, or a combination fits best and adjust that plan as therapy progresses.

Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth or face time is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity between sessions.
