About Shelley
Shelley Mondelli greets people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. She is a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - based in New York and brings five years of clinical experience to one-on-one work. Shelley keeps things direct and practical so parents can read quickly and decide if she might be a fit.
Shelley focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, family tensions, low self-esteem, and depression. She also helps people facing abandonment wounds, body image struggles, codependency, feelings of emptiness, loneliness, panic attacks, and social anxiety.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to the person in front of her, not to a one-size-fits-all plan. In session she listens without judgment and adapts conversations to what the client needs most. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going.
The goal is to build small, manageable changes that add up over time. Shelley treats each person with respect and compassion and works at a steady, practical pace. She helps people set clear goals, try new coping skills, and track progress between sessions.
If you want straightforward support aimed at real day-to-day improvement, Shelley offers that kind of care. To begin, clients choose a plan, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first appointment. Shelley works with people in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are the backbone of Shelley’s work. She focuses on approaches that target unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and on practical coping skills. One approach emphasizes identifying and changing thoughts that fuel anxiety and low mood; it helps people break cycles of worry and build more balanced thinking. Another approach concentrates on behavior change through gradual exposure and skill practice; it works well for panic, social anxiety, and avoidance by helping people do small, manageable tasks that reduce fear over time.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shelley will discuss symptom patterns, daily routines, and personal goals to figure out what methods feel most useful. Together the client and Shelley choose techniques that fit the person’s needs, then review progress and adjust as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video sessions let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for frequent, brief support or flexibility around work and parenting. These options help people access consistent care without changing their daily schedule.
