About Shelley

Shelley Aeschliman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 14 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, and low self-esteem. Shelley aims to listen carefully and treat each person with respect and compassion.

Shelley draws on several therapy approaches to match the work to each person's needs. She uses Existential ideas to help people face life choices and find meaning when things feel uncertain.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centered methods to make space for the client's voice and priorities during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for practical skill-building. That approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different actions that can reduce distress.

Shelley also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotion regulation and relationship repair are central concerns. Shelley commonly works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, control and communication problems, codependency, and family of origin concerns. She also supports people managing impulsivity, guilt or shame, and complicated mood or behavioral symptoms.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals, workable steps, and building skills that fit real life. She encourages small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.

If someone chooses to start, the first step is a brief matching process and scheduling the first meeting. Shelley believes starting therapy is a brave choice and will help people move toward clearer goals.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Existential Therapy helps people clarify values and face hard choices by focusing on meaning and responsibility in everyday life; this can help when feeling stuck, hopeless, or uncertain about the future. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own priorities and experience, giving space for honest talk and for the client to lead what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that increase distress and teaching practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shelley will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts techniques as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, quick skill practice, and ongoing support between sessions. These formats help people access consistent care around their schedules and daily life.
