About Shelby
LICSW in Massachusetts with nine years of professional experience, Shelby Love-Daley focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, and life transitions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Shelby meets people where they are and emphasizes practical steps toward clearer coping and decision-making.
Shelby centers sessions on what each person brings to the room. She treats clients as the expert on their story and builds on existing strengths. Conversations often identify small, doable changes that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her CBT work includes breaking problems into manageable parts and testing thoughts against reality. With DBT she teaches skills for regulating strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Mindfulness practices are used to improve attention and reduce anxious rumination.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. She helps clarify goals, weigh options, and find internal reasons to try new strategies. Sessions aim to leave people with specific tools they can use between meetings.
Shelby has experience addressing ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, relationship and family stress, career questions, and women's issues. She also works on communication problems, self-love, social anxiety, and compassion fatigue. Language of sessions is English and practice is based in Massachusetts.

How Shelby’s therapeutic methods translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means sessions start with the client's priorities and build goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses simple experiments to test new ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions; it is useful when strong reactions and overwhelm get in the way of daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Shelby collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what has and has not worked before and proposes short-term techniques and longer skill building so clients can compare approaches over time.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work or family routines, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. The focus is on practical skills and planning that people can use between appointments, with adaptations for remote conversations as required.
