About Shelly
LCSW in North Dakota with 3 years of clinical experience. Shelly Carbo helps people with relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and family conflict. She also focuses on communication problems, domestic violence, and veteran and armed forces issues. Sessions emphasize direct conversation and practical steps rather than long theory lectures.
Shelly uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals in view. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and behavior. The Gottman Method informs her work on communication in close relationships. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are used when they fit the situation.
Her style is relaxed and straightforward. She aims to build a working relationship first, then apply tools that address immediate problems. In couples work she focuses on clearer communication and identifying the root causes of repeated arguments.
She has experience across medical and mental health settings and has worked with people affected by abuse and with those seeking substance use counseling. Those experiences inform how she frames treatment plans and safety-related discussions.
Sessions move at a practical pace. Shelly helps people set small, realistic goals and checks progress each visit. For parents she offers concrete communication strategies and problem-solving techniques to reduce household conflict and manage anger.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's goals and experience. In practice this means conversations that follow what matters most to the client and adapt tools to their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which is useful for anger and anxiety.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Shelly will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick methods and test them, then adjust based on what helps in real life.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography did not list specific options. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time, and making it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings can also make it simpler to include focus on communication skills and behavioral exercises that you can practice between sessions.
