About Shelley
Shelley Buck is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, ADHD challenges, and issues related to identity and self-esteem. Shelley aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so families and individuals can find clearer steps forward.
Shelley uses talk therapy alongside tools from cognitive and mindfulness-based approaches. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, like noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing small behavioral changes, and improving communication.
Background and approach
She pays attention to attachment patterns and how they shape relationships and emotional responses. Her training includes a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Adolescent Development and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Shelley lists three years of clinical experience as an LPC in Texas.
She draws on a mix of proven techniques to match each person's needs rather than a single fixed method. Shelley works with neurodivergent traits such as autism and ADHD alongside common concerns like codependency, guilt, shame, isolation, and life transitions. She also helps with issues related to non-monogamous relationships and navigating identity as an LGBT person.
Conversations aim to be clear, practical, and focused on tangible change. Therapy sessions emphasize collaboration. Shelley works with each person to set realistic goals, try new strategies, and review progress.
The approach is paced to the person, with room to adjust methods as needs change.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and building a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress. CBT can help with stress, mood shifts, and ADHD-related habit changes.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Shelley will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then blend methods to fit those goals. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and shifting course when needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and text messaging are helpful for quick reflections, ongoing check-ins, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting routines.
