I specialize in providing individual counseling services tailored to meet the unique needs of each person I serve.

My approach to counseling is rooted in compassion and respect. I am here to support you as you discover your power to overcome life’s difficulties and pursue emotional and mental well-being.
Whether you’re seeking support for a recent loss, working through past trauma, or simply trying to find clarity in your current season of life, I am here to walk with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I feel so supported by Ms. Woods.
By working with Shetress, I️ have finally felt able to address certain issues that have plagued me for much of my life. I️ have learned a great deal about myself, my relationships, and many of the faulty coping mechanisms that no longer serve me. She has helped me reassess those coping mechanisms and figure out better ways to implement tactics for personal growth that I actually use. I️ feel much more empowered and better able to deal with whatever life throws at me.
great
Phenomenal progress with her. She is extremely skilled in CBT especially in the area of self talk. I have become a much happier person since working with her. I highly recommend Shetress to others who struggle with negative self beliefs.
Shetress...I am blessed to have crossed paths with you...truly! You have had such a Life-Changing and POSITIVE impact in my life in such a short amount of time..this is truly your calling! The advice and insights you've given me have made me shift my stubborn mind into believing there is so much positive change I can create in my life from just better awareness. I look forward to continue to learn all I can from you! We are only 7 sessions in..and WOW! I'm so excited to see where I'll be next year at this time with your help. Thank you for always be so present in our sessions! I am so grateful for you.
She's fantastic! I'm blessed to have met her she's been a tremendous blessing to me.
I enjoy the conversations with Shetress Woods. She has been supportive and nice.
Shetress has been a wonderful therapist. I feel lucky to have been paired with her. I would absolutely recommend her to my family and friends, only reason I wouldn't is because I don't care to share her :) The betterhelp system has made therapy fit within my busy lifestyle and therefore have allowed me to even seek counseling.
She’s been great so far. Responds quickly. I’ve been going through some things so i don’t reply as often as I should. But that’s my fault. Not hers. Thanks for the advice.
