About Pamela
Pamela Shultz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Pamela also focuses on codependency, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and issues tied to adoption or blended families.
Pamela draws on straightforward, practical conversations to help people notice the patterns that keep causing pain. She listens for how behaviors and thinking styles get in the way, then helps clients try new ways of responding. Sessions often include skills for managing strong emotions, problem-solving around daily pressures, and clearer communication in relationships.
Her background includes service in the Navy and parenting four children, experiences she uses to understand the demands some people face. Pamela prioritizes concrete steps clients can practice between sessions, such as mindful breathing, brief cognitive exercises, and goal-focused tasks. She frames progress as small, repeatable changes rather than dramatic overnight fixes.
Pamela uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness techniques are also part of her work when clients are exploring readiness for change or learning to be less reactive.
People seeking help for substance use, coping with loss or life transitions, or wanting to set firmer boundaries around relationships may find her approach useful. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short intake so sessions can start with clear goals and a plan.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can clarify what matters to them. This approach supports those trying to untangle codependent patterns or relationship stress by emphasizing personal choices and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into manageable pieces and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful habits. CBT can help with anxiety, addiction-related thinking, and everyday coping skills.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Pamela will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches make sense based on their goals, readiness for change, and everyday life demands. She encourages trying methods for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many clients find that practicing CBT exercises or mindfulness skills between sessions is simpler when they can schedule work around other obligations.
