About Shantelle
Shantelle Wells is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience in mental health care. She practices in Missouri and Kansas and helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, anger, trauma and abuse, and life changes.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She encourages stepping a little outside comfort zones to learn different responses to difficult situations. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her approach draws on attachment work and client-centered listening. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and reactions, while following each person's concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in everyday life.
Solution-Focused techniques help set clear, short-term goals and identify small steps that make a difference. Sessions often include concrete practice - trying new ways to communicate, manage anger, or cope with panic - and checking what worked afterward.
She works with people on issues such as abandonment, codependency, trust and commitment, communication problems, control issues, and recovery after domestic violence. She also addresses burnout and compassion fatigue for people in caregiving roles. Shantelle asks clients to take an active role in shaping therapy so it fits real-life demands.
To begin, she recommends using the site matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. That makes it clearer which methods to use and how sessions will fit into each person's schedule.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape anger and trust. Online sessions can use conversations and exercises to notice these patterns and practice different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters most to the person. In a session this tends to mean the therapist reflects what she hears and helps the client name practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT work in sessions includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what changed.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She works with each person to decide which mix of methods fits their situation and goals. That collaboration helps shape what happens session to session and which skills to focus on first.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or avoid travel. It also allows practical exercises between sessions, such as trying new communication techniques at home and reporting back on what worked.
