About Shea
Shea Kamp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and other life stressors. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than labels or judgement.
Shea uses approaches drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness work, and motivational interviewing to help people manage strong emotions and build coping skills. In session she breaks things down into concrete strategies - skills for tolerating distress, noticing patterns that lead to outbursts, and small behavioral changes to reduce conflict. She keeps language plain and action-focused so clients can try tools between meetings.
People come to her with worries about anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, parenting stress, or career pressure. Shea also supports those facing adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, blended family dynamics, substance problems, hospice and end-of-life questions, and workplace stress. She draws on experience across these areas to help clients spot what matters most in daily life.
Shea describes her work as collaborative. She listens for what the client wants to change and then suggests useful steps and exercises to practice. Appointments are meant to be practical check-ins where progress can be measured in concrete ways.
Sessions are conducted in English and Shea holds her LCSW credential in Illinois. Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting through the site’s online options.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It offers step-by-step exercises clients can practice between meetings to reduce outbursts and reactivity.Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness of thoughts, feelings, and bodily cues. Learning to notice early signs of anger can help a person pause and choose a different response instead of reacting automatically.
Motivational Interviewing is a practical way to clarify what someone wants to change and to strengthen motivation for that change. It is useful when deciding to cut back on substance use, shift patterns at work, or work on long-standing habits that fuel resentment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shea treats this as a collaboration: she listens to the client’s goals and suggests approaches to try. Together they track what helps and make adjustments based on what the client prefers and what fits their life.
