About Shaleen
Shaleen Robertson is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, and depression. She approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her style is practical and straightforward, focused on helping people take manageable steps forward.
She adapts the way she talks and plans treatment to fit each person’s needs. Sessions are meant to be collaborative - clients say what matters and she helps shape the path.
Background and approach
She emphasizes clear, doable strategies rather than long lists of theory. Over nearly two decades in Missouri, Shaleen has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Her additional focus areas include caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, substance and process addictions, first responder and veteran issues, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Shaleen also helps people navigate body image struggles, guilt and shame, isolation, panic attacks, and women’s issues. She combines practical problem-solving with emotional support to help people move through difficult moments.
Her goal is to help clients build skills they can use outside sessions. People who choose her often want a down-to-earth guide for getting unstuck. She supports clients as they explore options, try new tools, and make decisions that fit their lives.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Shaleen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and changing patterns. One common approach she uses centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practicing new responses in the context of daily life; this helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Another approach emphasizes grounding, stabilization, and pacing when trauma or strong emotions are present, giving simple tools to manage intense moments and reduce reactivity.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to the client’s goals, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan together. If an approach isn’t helping, she will suggest alternatives and work with the client to find what fits their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused communication during busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
