More about Shalin

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful change.

I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and emotional regulation difficulties. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and strengths-based approaches to help you develop practical coping skills, gain insight, and move toward your goals.

I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I work with you at your pace to foster growth, resilience, and self-awareness. Whether you are going through a difficult time or simply seeking personal development, I am here to support you.

I look forward to working with you on your journey toward healing and well-being.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
