About Shelley
Shelley Schneider is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 35 years of experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Shelley also helps people dealing with caregiving strain, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer-related issues, and codependency.
She favors a problem-solving, practical style. Shelley focuses on how thoughts shape behavior and uses that understanding to change daily routines and reactions. Sessions are direct and straightforward while remaining respectful.
In the room she talks through what is happening now and what patterns keep repeating. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, measurable goals and build on quick wins.
Shelley draws on decades of clinical experience with adults and older adults. That background informs how she frames caregiving stress, end-of-life concerns, and relationship patterns that leave a person putting others first. She is accustomed to practical problems like communication breakdowns, divorce adjustments, loneliness, and finding purpose after major life shifts.
Her approach is straightforward: clarify the problem, name the thoughts that keep it going, and try small changes. People who want clear steps, honest feedback, and help setting boundaries may find her style useful.
How sessions work
How Shelley uses CBT and Solution-Focused methods online
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change thoughts that keep patterns like people-pleasing or avoidance in place. In practice that means noticing a recurring thought, testing whether it matches reality, and trying a new small behavior to see what changes.Solution-Focused Therapy is used alongside CBT to set concrete, short-term goals. Sessions often focus on one or two achievable steps a person can try between meetings, which helps build momentum and reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shelley works collaboratively to match techniques to a persons goals and day-to-day constraints. She reviews what helps and adjusts plans together based on results and feedback.
