Shelley Aeschliman , LPC

Shelley Aeschliman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 14 years of combined educational and clinical experience supporting people facing behavioral health challenges. She works with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low motivation, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence. Her practice draws on training in solution-focused brief therapy to build individualized plans that target each person's specific goals and strengths.

Known for an approach grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, Shelley emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies that fit clients' lives. As a Certified Solution Focused Brief Therapist, she and her clients concentrate on concrete, achievable changes rather than only exploring problems, which helps move work forward in a timely way. Shelley also integrates client-centered methods and evidence-informed techniques to address patterns that interfere with wellbeing.

She encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and acknowledges the courage involved in reaching out for support. Shelley aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore obstacles, build skills, and pursue meaningful, lasting improvements in their daily functioning and relationships.

Approach-Focused Care Available Online

Shelley draws from client-centered therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities lead the work; this approach helps people who want an empathetic setting to explore feelings and relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. In addition, elements of dialectical behavior therapy are employed to teach practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or relationship patterns cause disruption.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Shelley works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and she tailors the plan over time so the methods fit the client rather than forcing a single model on every situation.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for differing schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or work, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward personal and relational improvements.
