About Consuella
Consuella Shaw is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and relationship strain.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person's strengths. Shaw favors straightforward conversations where clients lead the story and she offers tools that fit real life.
Sessions may include skills for managing strong emotions, strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts, and ways to improve communication. She uses methods such as the Gottman Method, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening when they match a person’s goals.
Her background includes long-term practice with a range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and self-harm. She also supports people handling the challenges of parenting and family conflict, and works with individuals who have intellectual disability concerns.
Shaw values collaboration. She helps people set clear, achievable goals and tracks progress together.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person’s comfort. People who prefer direct, supportive care often find her style helpful.
She offers multiple online formats and accepts clients in English, including some international clients. To begin, readers complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Consuella Shaw uses methods like the Gottman Method and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and connection through clear skills and small behavior changes, which can be practiced during virtual sessions and at home between meetings. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice thinking patterns and test new ways of behaving, often using brief exercises and homework that transfer easily to video or messaging formats.Finding the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist starts by asking about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and preference.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles while keeping the focus on usable skills and steady progress.
