Shantelle Wells , LCPC, LPC

Shantelle Wells is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on women's issues alongside a broad range of emotional concerns. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her approach is warm and straightforward and she aims to help clients regain a sense of calm and direction.

Shantelle draws on methods that center on understanding attachment patterns and building practical skills. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused while also leaving space for emotion. She works with clients to identify patterns that keep them stuck and to try small changes that build toward bigger shifts.

With 18 years in the field, she has supported people through life changes, career stress, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation. Her work often includes helping people sort through guilt, shame, abandonment wounds, and questions about life purpose.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental tone and a focus on practical steps. Shantelle aims to help people put pieces back together at a manageable pace. She balances empathy with direct feedback to keep progress moving.

Sessions are offered from Missouri and conducted in English. Shantelle invites clients to reflect on what matters most and to try approaches that fit their everyday lives.

Approach and online options for meaningful change

Shantelle often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people identify repeating dynamics and learn new ways of connecting and trusting. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to reduce anxiety, panic attacks, and depressive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She talks with clients about goals and preferences and then tries methods that feel like a good fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies if something is not working.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist and client read nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or busy days while keeping the focus on steady progress.
