About Pamela

Pamela Shultz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings lived experience and practical skills to therapy. She is a Navy veteran and a mother of four, and she focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting, and coping with life changes. Pamela uses straightforward language and hands-on strategies so people can start applying tools right away.

Her sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going. She helps clients notice thoughts and reactions, practice new behaviors, and build small routines that reduce stress.

Background and approach

Pamela also supports people dealing with substance use and recovery by focusing on emotional regulation and everyday skills for stability. Therapy with Pamela tends to be collaborative and goal-oriented. She draws from approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing.

Those methods guide practical steps rather than lengthy theory talks. Pamela holds an LPC credential, Louisiana LPC 10006, and has three years of clinical experience. She offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

People looking to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire to connect and schedule. Pamela aims to meet each person where they are and to focus on concrete changes that ease daily life.

How Pamela's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps people talk through their priorities and feel heard while they decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers clear exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Pamela will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is helping and what is not.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions into busy days, use short check-ins when needed, and continue work between appointments. The goal is to make practical support easier to access and to keep progress moving forward.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
