About Selene
Selene Negrette is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 17 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, parenting strain, anger, and changes at work or in life. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Negrette focuses on helping people understand how sensitivity and strong emotions affect daily life. She talks with clients about practical ways to manage intense feelings and reduce reactivity with people close to them. The approach is down-to-earth and aims to make emotional responses easier to notice and name.
Her methods draw from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior therapy skills, mindfulness practices, and somatic ideas about how the body holds stress. That means sessions can include skills practice, breath and grounding exercises, and gentle attention to physical reactions tied to emotion.
She has long experience addressing trauma, grief, and family conflict. That includes using trauma-informed techniques to help people process painful memories and reduce their ongoing impact. She also supports people who identify as highly sensitive or empathic to better recognize strengths and set limits that protect their energy.
Negrette notes she uses a strengths-based, nonjudgmental stance while helping clients find direction and more satisfaction in life. She can conduct work in both English and Spanish. For next steps, clients follow the platform process to match and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. Online sessions let the therapist listen and reflect back what matters most, helping clients set clear goals for anger and relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks anger into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can include homework, thought records, and brief skills practice between meetings to reduce reactive responses at work or home.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes concrete skills like distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Those skills can be taught and practiced in video or phone sessions so people can try them when frustration builds.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk to the therapist during the match process about what will work best for scheduling and practical needs.
