About Shea
Shea Kamp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with five years of experience. She supports people who are facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, anxiety, and other life stresses. Her approach is direct and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.
Shea adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, achievable changes.
Background and approach
She uses practical skills and listening to help people find clearer ways forward. She brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques into sessions when helpful. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who want to make changes but are feeling stuck.
These approaches are chosen to match goals like managing strong emotions, building coping strategies, or improving relationships. People often come for help with parenting concerns, relationship stress, addiction struggles, depression, or career-related pressure. Shea also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric matters, domestic violence, and hospice and end-of-life counseling among other areas.
She treats topics plainly and with attention to each person’s background. Shea aims to create a calm, respectful space where practical tools meet honest conversation. If you are weighing whether to begin, she encourages taking the next step and offers a straightforward process to get started.

Online approaches that focus on skills and change
Shea uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage strong emotions and stay present. DBT focuses on skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and increase calm.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel ambivalent about change. This approach uses curious, nonjudgmental conversation to build motivation and move toward personal goals. Shea works with each person to choose which approaches fit their goals and comfort level in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a longer, interactive session is helpful. Phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins or when being on camera is not ideal. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day or to follow up between longer sessions.
