About

Sheena Kelly, MSMFT LPC(GA), LPCTMHC (SC), LCMHC-A (NC), NCC, is a licensed professional counselor with over 6 years of experience in the mental health field. Sheena has worked in private practice, Community Agencies, and Adoption agencies to develop an overall perspective on individual experiences. Sheena has advanced training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) which gives her more tools to aid in the client's journey. Therapy is an individualized process, and the most effective approach for one person may not be the best approach for another. We will work collaboratively to determine the most appropriate approach and techniques to meet your unique needs and goals. The top three that I would generally use are Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioral. Humanistic therapy emphasizes the client's subjective experiences and values, and within that, I would provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment to help the client explore their emotions and develop a greater sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. Psychodynamic therapy is based on the notion that unconscious thoughts and experiences influence our behavior and emotions. Utilizing this approach, I would help the client explore and understand these unconscious factors to promote healing and personal growth. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and aims to help clients identify and change negative patterns of thinking and behavior. There are many different theoretical approaches to therapy, and I may use a variety of approaches depending on the client's needs and goals. Typically, I would work with clients from ages 13-99 whose anxiety and depression are interfering with their daily life. These clients could have just begun to experience symptoms of these diagnoses, have been experiencing them due to trauma, or these things are displaying them due to relational issues.
