About Shelley
Shelley Mondelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York with five years of professional therapy experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. Shelley also focuses on issues such as abandonment, body image, codependency, loneliness, and panic symptoms.
Shelley draws on long experience in mental health to keep sessions straightforward. Conversations are practical and aim to make everyday problems feel more manageable. She listens for patterns that keep clients stuck and helps identify small changes to test between sessions.
Sessions look at how habits, thinking, and relationships interact. For someone who prioritizes others at their own cost, Shelley helps clarify boundaries and personal needs. For people dealing with drinking or drug problems, she addresses how substance use fits into daily life and relationships.
Her approach emphasizes clear goals and step-by-step work. That can include short coping strategies for panic or anxiety, and exercises to rebuild self-regard and sense of agency. Progress is checked often so plans can be adjusted when needed.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Shelley practices in New York and holds the LMHC credential.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address immediate symptoms and daily habits. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative thoughts with small behavioral experiments; this can help with anxiety, panic, and social worry. Another approach concentrates on behavior change and coping skills, teaching short strategies to calm panic, reduce urges, and handle cravings related to substance use.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what methods match the client's concerns, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as needs change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, a shorter check-in can fit a lunch break, or phone sessions can be chosen when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Therapists and licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep regular appointments without long travel time, while still focusing on concrete skills and progress.
