About Shelley
Shelley Buck is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling with self-esteem, navigating relationship and intimacy concerns, or coping with life changes. Shelley also works with people dealing with ADHD, codependency, parenting strain, and issues related to LGBT identity.
Shelley uses clear, conversation-based therapy. In sessions she talks through patterns that cause repeated people-pleasing or difficulty saying no. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in small steps. Sessions include practical skill work, short-term goals, and chances to reflect on how family history affects current relationships. Shelley has a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Adolescent Development and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She is a member of professional counseling associations and practices in Texas as an LPC. Her background includes work with neurodivergence and youth 10 and older, which informs how she adapts pacing and communication in sessions. People come to Shelley when they want clearer boundaries, less guilt, and better ways to manage intense emotions. She guides practical steps to help people regain a sense of agency in relationships and daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking committed action toward what matters. It can help when people feel stuck because they are avoiding difficult feelings or prioritizing others over themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and gives simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. That helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, and repetitive relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shelley will work with each person to identify which strategies fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what the client is trying to change and how they respond in early sessions.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone work on skills between sessions in their own routine. Licensed professionals help clients shape a plan that fits daily life while using ACT and CBT tools to practice new behaviors and responses.
