Shelley has greatly impacted my life in just three short weeks. She challenges me when I need it and validates me when I need it too. I really appreciate the questions she gives me to consider between our sessions. They keep me working on my issues and occupy my mind when I might otherwise have negative self-talk. The experience has been excellent.
More about Shelley

- LCSW
I am Shelley Schneider, a Florida licensed social worker with 35 years of clinical experience. First I want to acknowledge it takes courage and strength to seek professional help. Therefore, I strive to create a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement and a trusting relationship can be established.
After hearing the issues bringing you to BetterHelp, we would define your goals and how you would successfully achieve them. I am a solution focused therapist as when I have a problem, I want a positive change as soon as possible. So I bring that attitude and approach to my work with you while being sensitive and thoughtful about your individual needs.
I have experience in helping people with a multitude of problems such as anxiety, stress, depression, coping, self esteem and confidence. Some of my areas of expertise are coping with loss and change, stress anxiety, depression, grief, aging, end of life issues, death and dying and hospice care. Among some of my professional activities I have investigated Child Abuse, supervised Adult Protective Services and served as a Vice President of Counseling Services in a large hospice.
If you think we might be a good match for each other, please reach out to me and we can schedule a time to meet.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
