About Shelby
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee and Texas with 3 years of experience. Shelby Fryar helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also focuses on issues such as attachment, body image, dissociation, and pregnancy and childbirth.
Shelby works in straightforward, client-directed sessions. She lets the person set the pace and priorities. Sessions often include practical skills drawn from DBT, cognitive strategies, and motivational techniques to address behaviors and thought patterns.
She has worked in private practice and residential settings supporting people through acute crisis and addiction. That background shapes how she structures safety and early coping when someone is in a heightened state of distress. Shelby uses approaches that address trauma and its aftereffects in focused ways.
In session Shelby pulls together elements from multiple approaches rather than following a single script. Mindfulness and tracking thought patterns are common tools she uses. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to explore what change might look like and to build readiness.
Shelby aims to help people make concrete shifts that affect daily life. She offers support while following the client’s lead on goals and progression. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the platform’s matching tools and schedule a first appointment.

How Shelby uses trauma, DBT, and motivational approaches online
Shelby commonly combines Attachment-Based ideas, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) concepts in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current feelings and reactions. DBT supplies concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindful awareness to manage intense states. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that processes distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge and the ways they affect daily functioning.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Shelby will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend methods that fit the person’s needs. That selection is revisited over time so techniques can be adjusted as progress and priorities change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since this profile does not list specific delivery modes. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time for people balancing work and family. Licensed professionals can adapt DBT skills training, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused work to virtual sessions, and Shelby will help decide which format and pacing match practical constraints and therapeutic goals.
