Shantelle Wells

Shantelle Wells is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She brings 18 years of experience and aims to make therapy a practical place to work through life changes and coping skills. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, focused on helping people feel more able to handle hard moments.

Shantelle believes change happens when people push past their comfort zones. She creates space for honest conversation and for people to be vulnerable without judgment. Sessions emphasize steady progress rather than quick fixes. She encourages clients to rebuild a sense of calm and purpose at their own pace.

Her background includes work across multiple counseling settings over nearly two decades. That experience informs a flexible way of working that adapts to each person’s needs. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems in place.

Shantelle also uses Client-Centered methods to follow the client’s lead and Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, doable goals. Together these approaches help people tackle immediate issues while building longer-term coping tools. The overall focus is on practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

People who reach out should expect a calm, encouraging presence and straightforward strategies. Shantelle frames therapy as a collaborative process where small changes add up. She supports clients in restoring hope, joy, and a stronger sense of self.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships influence emotions and behavior. It helps people understand patterns that affect trust, closeness, and reactions like anger or withdrawal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going and teaches practical techniques to change them. CBT is helpful for panic, negative thinking, and day-to-day coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative, and adjustments are made as progress or challenges appear.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, reduce travel time, and use short check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking to find what fits best.
