About Shae
Shae Schartner is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, trauma, and big life changes. She practices in Wisconsin and brings three years of direct therapy experience at a nonprofit mental health clinic. Shae speaks English and focuses on clear, practical steps people can use between sessions.
Shae uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which she applies to mood challenges, impulsive reactions, and strong emotions like anger.
Background and approach
She also draws on her past work in settings such as a homeless shelter and an eating disorder clinic to understand different life situations. Her background includes work with adults facing trauma, abuse, caregiver stress, and family conflict. In sessions she aims for straightforward conversation and skill-building.
People can expect to practice emotion regulation and communication skills. Shae emphasizes small, usable tools that make daily life easier rather than long lectures or complex theory. She keeps plans focused and measurable, helping people try new approaches between meetings.
Shae pays attention to guilt, shame, and how those feelings affect behavior and relationships. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders and challenges around impulsivity. Her clinical experience started in mental health roles from 2017 onward before becoming a licensed social worker.
That variety of work helps her see practical options for coping and change. Shae aims to help people find clearer choices when emotions feel overwhelming.

DBT-informed care and flexible online sessions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on teaching skills people can use to manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive actions, and improve relationships. DBT techniques include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal communication and are often useful for anger, mood swings, and impulsivity.Shae will work together with each person to find which techniques fit best. Figuring out the right approach is collaborative - she listens to goals and daily challenges, then adjusts strategies so they feel useful and realistic.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can help people get support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping treatment focused on the skills that matter most.
