Shelley has greatly impacted my life in just three short weeks. She challenges me when I need it and validates me when I need it too. I really appreciate the questions she gives me to consider between our sessions. They keep me working on my issues and occupy my mind when I might otherwise have negative self-talk. The experience has been excellent.

I am Shelley Schneider, a Florida licensed social worker with 35 years of clinical experience. First I want to acknowledge it takes courage and strength to seek professional help. Therefore, I strive to create a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement and a trusting relationship can be established. After hearing the issues bringing you to BetterHelp, we would define your goals and how you would successfully achieve them. I am a solution focused therapist as when I have a problem, I want a positive change as soon as possible. So I bring that attitude and approach to my work with you while being sensitive and thoughtful about your individual needs. I have experience in helping people with a multitude of problems such as anxiety, stress, depression, coping, self esteem and confidence. Some of my areas of expertise are coping with loss and change, stress anxiety, depression, grief, aging, end of life issues, death and dying and hospice care. If you think we might be a good match for each other, please reach out to me and we can schedule a time to meet.

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.
