About Shaleen
Shaleen Robertson is a licensed clinical social worker who uses evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship struggles. She draws on 18 years of practical experience and keeps discussions straightforward and respectful. Shaleen emphasizes a compassionate, down-to-earth style so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. That means practical steps are paired with space to talk through feelings and past experiences.
Background and approach
Sessions can include short-term coping strategies as well as longer work on patterns that keep problems coming back. Shaleen’s background includes many years supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, and issues tied to substance use and process addictions. She also assists with concerns like body image, chronic illness, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue.
Her work includes helping those facing life transitions and the emotional impacts of end-of-life care. She holds an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - in Missouri (MO LCSW 2007011130). Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Shaleen offers flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to meet different needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step help pair a person with a therapist and set up the first appointment. Shaleen aims to make the first step clear and manageable for people seeking change.
Evidence-based approaches for online support
Shaleen uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on clear strategies and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress through step-by-step techniques that reduce symptoms and build daily routines. Another approach concentrates on patterns tied to addiction and problematic behaviors, helping people identify triggers and develop safer responses and habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She reviews needs, goals, and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time. This collaborative process helps decide which techniques fit best for short-term relief or longer-term change.
Online therapy with Shaleen is offered through several formats so people can choose what works best. Video calls make it possible to meet face-to-face from home, while phone sessions fit tighter schedules. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing check-ins and brief support between meetings. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into real life and provide continuity when circumstances change.
