About Selene
Selene Negrette is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. She brings 17 years of experience to conversations about mood, parenting challenges, family concerns, and navigating life changes. Selene also supports people who identify as highly sensitive or empathic to better understand their strengths and limits.
She works in a warm, nonjudgmental way and focuses on individual strengths rather than blame. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with attention to what feels useful day to day. Selene blends mindfulness, talk, and body-based approaches so clients learn skills they can use between sessions.
Her approach draws from client-centered practice and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and build steady coping skills. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas for emotion regulation and somatic techniques to address how stress shows up in the body. This mix is often used when trauma, grief, or chronic stress affect daily functioning.
Selene is bilingual in English and Spanish and has worked across multicultural settings. Her background includes long-term clinical practice helping people process trauma, grief, and difficult relationship patterns such as codependency and attachment concerns. She aims to help clients find clearer direction and more satisfaction in their lives.
To start, she asks about your current struggles and what you hope to change. Sessions focus on doable steps, clearer communication, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
How Selene’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and what matters to them. It involves listening closely, reflecting what you say, and helping you set goals that match your values. This approach is useful for relationship worries, life transitions, and rebuilding direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and low mood in daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication in tense situations.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose techniques and adjust them over time so the plan fits the person's needs.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered for remote care. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone continue steady care during life changes, while the therapist focuses on practical skills and emotional regulation that transfer into everyday routines.
