Shelley Dodt

Shelley listens closely and works alongside clients to find what helps them reach their goals. Shelley uses mindfulness to slow things down and notice what matters in the moment.

She helps clients learn coping skills to manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and the hard days after loss or trauma. Conversations are straightforward and geared toward real-life change rather than theory.

Her work includes support for concerns such as self-esteem, career stress, depression, and major life transitions. She also addresses relationship issues, intimacy-related problems, parenting challenges, grief, and burnout from caregiving or work.

Shelley pays attention to thinking patterns and behaviors that get in the way of what people want from life. In sessions she teaches tools from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to change unhelpful habits.

She draws on the Gottman Method ideas for improving communication and connection. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help clients clarify goals and take practical steps.

Shelley aims to balance mindfulness, kindness, and a bit of humor while helping people build on their strengths. Her style is collaborative and skill-based, focused on small changes that add up to better functioning and greater well-being.

She works from Florida and carries five years of clinical experience as an LCSW.
