About Selene

Selene Negrette, LMSW, works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and offers a calm, welcoming presence for people seeking clearer direction and emotional relief.

She focuses on helping people notice and use their strengths. Sessions tend to be warm and nonjudgmental. Selene often supports clients who identify as highly sensitive or empathic, helping them recognize their gifts and manage difficult interactions.

Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and somatic methods. In plain terms, that means she listens closely, helps clients spot unhelpful thinking, teaches coping skills, and uses body-based awareness when trauma or strong emotions are present.

With 17 years of experience as a licensed master social worker in Michigan, she combines practical skill-building with emotional attunement. Sessions usually include goal setting, skill practice, and checking what feels helpful in real life.

People looking for support around parenting, grief, workplace stress, narcissistic or abusive dynamics, attachment concerns, or identity and multicultural issues can expect a therapist who emphasizes collaboration and respect. To begin, the site’s Start Therapy button leads to a short matching questionnaire and scheduling options based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work and skill building

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping the client lead the conversation. This approach is useful when someone needs empathy, validation, and space to sort out feelings and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It emphasizes balance between accepting difficult feelings and learning strategies to cope with them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.
