Shelly Daniel, LCSW, CSW

Shelly Daniel is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, and major life shifts. She brings a practical, strengths-focused approach and aims to help clients think differently, manage emotions, and build healthier relationships.

She uses clear, concrete strategies to teach coping skills and emotion regulation. Sessions focus on solution-building and improving how people relate to others. Shelly emphasizes mindful living and thought patterns that support day-to-day functioning.

With ten years of experience as an LCSW and CSW in Georgia, she draws on that background to guide conversations toward achievable goals. She looks for what already works and helps expand those strengths to meet new challenges. Topics she works with include depression, addiction, bipolar concerns, caregiving stress, and aging and geriatric issues.

Shelly often collaborates with clients who are ready to try new ways of thinking and behaving. She brings steady attention, empathy, and practical steps to the room. Her aim is to help clients move from feeling stuck to making usable changes.

Her style is warm and direct. She helps people identify limits and opportunities, and then builds a plan together. The focus is on skills you can use after a session to manage emotions, communicate better, and handle life transitions.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a caring relationship so clients feel understood and can explore goals at their own pace. It helps people clarify values, make decisions, and gain confidence in handling relationships and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication under stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and personal preferences and then suggest methods to try. Together they adjust the plan based on what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Licensed professionals can use the same practical exercises, skill building, and homework online that they do in person.
