About Consuella
Consuella Shaw is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience. She focuses on supporting people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, or challenges with self-esteem. She also helps individuals dealing with trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and parenting concerns.
Shaw takes a straightforward, respectful approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and begins by listening to understand where they are now.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical steps, skill building, and decisions that fit daily life. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's goals and choices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving coping skills. She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck and the Gottman Method for those wanting to improve close relationships.
These methods are combined to match the needs of each person she sees. The focus is on real strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Clients can expect clear, calm guidance and encouragement to try small changes that add up.
Shaw supports parents who need help balancing caregiving demands with their own wellbeing. She offers services in English and can work with international clients by online formats.

How her approaches fit online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens and helps shape sessions around what matters most, which can help with parenting stress and everyday challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process where the person’s preferences and life situation guide which tools are used.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coping prompts, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options provide flexibility so people can practice skills and get support in ways that suit their schedule and daily routine.
