About Shantelle
Shantelle Wells is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. She works with individuals on issues like depression, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Shantelle brings 18 years of experience and holds LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and LPC credentials.
She keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate. Conversations focus on what is happening now and practical steps to move forward. She encourages small changes that feel uncomfortable at first but grow into new habits over time.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centered listening so people feel heard and respected during hard conversations. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Shantelle supports people dealing with hurt from abandonment, codependency, communication and control issues, and the aftermath of domestic violence or separation. She also helps those facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and the day-to-day strain of parenting or caregiving. Sessions aim to rebuild stability and hope one step at a time.
She offers clear, practical strategies alongside space to process emotions. Many clients leave with a better sense of direction and tools they can use between sessions.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shantelle uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns. This helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment, codependency, or repeating the same communication problems in close relationships.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, negative self-talk, and changing habits that keep people stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those goals. Adjustments are made as needed based on what is and isn’t working.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for a deeper conversation when you want face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a shorter, written exchange fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping care consistent.
