About Shanelle
Shanelle Slade is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings six years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep concerns. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on practical ways to make everyday life feel more manageable.
Shanelle uses a mix of approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused techniques when they fit a person's goals.
Her background includes clinical counseling and experience working with mood disorders, anxiety, substance use, relationship difficulties, and trauma. She has also supported people facing grief, intimacy concerns, and challenges related to parenting or first responder work. Shanelle lists work with HIV/AIDS and hospice and end-of-life counseling among her focus areas as well.
People who come to her can expect a collaborative approach that centers their values and practical needs. She will help set goals, try out small behavioral changes, and adjust the plan as things evolve. The aim is steady progress rather than instant fixes.
Shanelle works in English and accepts international clients. She asks people to begin by using the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions according to availability.
Approach and online care that fit your life
Shanelle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small, practical steps toward a meaningful life. ACT is useful when someone feels stuck by worry or unhelpful thoughts and wants a values-driven plan to move forward.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that sustain anxiety or sleep problems. CBT includes simple experiments and skill-building that aim to change how a person reacts to stress and to improve routines that affect rest.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend strategies from these approaches. The plan can be adjusted as progress or circumstances change, and decisions are made together.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep routine check-ins. Others choose formats that allow shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when needed. Discuss scheduling and format preferences when you begin so sessions can match your everyday life.
