About Shantelle
Shantelle Wells is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Missouri. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and codependency. Her approach is warm and straightforward and she focuses on small, steady steps toward feeling better.
Shantelle has 18 years of experience in mental health work and describes therapy as a place to be honest and vulnerable. She aims to meet people where they are and to support each person through change at their own pace. She encourages trying new ways of coping even when it feels uncomfortable.
In sessions she listens closely and helps clients identify what is not working and what could feel different. She draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution-Focused ideas to shape practical plans. That can mean looking at patterns in relationships, changing unhelpful thoughts, or setting small goals to build momentum.
Shantelle works with people who want to restore a sense of peace, hope, and joy. She talks through concrete steps and offers tools for managing panic, anger, shame, or isolation. She also supports people dealing with career stress and compassion fatigue.
Her style is caring and realistic: attentive listening, clear feedback, and collaborative problem solving. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider what they want to change and to use therapy as a space for rebuilding one piece at a time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape the ways people connect and feel safe. Online work using attachment ideas can help identify patterns in close relationships and try different ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In online sessions CBT can be used to spot unhelpful thinking, practice new responses, and build skills for anxiety, panic, or depression. Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods over time. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to try and when to shift course. Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and fewer travel demands. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or sessions that work around work and family life. Exact session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can still focus on real-life behavior change, relationship patterns, and problem-solving strategies.Areas of expertise
