About Shelly
Shelly Daniel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stuck by working on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and anger among other concerns. Shelly focuses on practical, skills-based work and offers a straightforward approach to everyday problems.
She uses strength-focused methods to build useful thinking and better coping. Sessions often center on emotion regulation, problem-solving, and improving communication. Shelly helps clients identify what already works for them and where small changes could make a real difference.
Shelly favors concrete tools over long lectures. That can mean practicing new ways to respond when anger or resentment comes up, learning short mindfulness exercises that calm strong feelings, or trying CBT techniques to change unhelpful thinking. She also uses DBT skills for managing intense emotions when needed.
Her work is collaborative and practical. She asks direct questions, offers clear skills to try between sessions, and checks in on what helps. People who are ready to try new patterns of behavior often find this hands-on style rewarding.
Shelly also brings experience with relationship concerns and the Gottman Method for improving communication and connection. Other focus areas include addictions, parenting strain, family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and coping with major life changes. Her aim is to help clients find manageable steps toward steadier mood and healthier interactions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shelly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward, practical ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working from the client’s concerns so they set the goals. CBT teaches concrete techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow, useful when anger or worry interferes with daily life.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT supplies step-by-step skills to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive responses that damage relationships. Together these approaches give skills for calming down, rethinking situations, and planning next steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shelly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation often starts in the first session and adjusts as practical results emerge.
Confirm the session formats Shelly currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while trying new ways of handling anger and stress.
