Getting to know Kiana Shelton

Hi there, I'm Kiana! Hello, my name is Kiana Shelton. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 12 years of experience. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Dominguez Hills. I specialize in providing compassionate and effective mental health support, utilizing my expertise to assist individuals in navigating life's challenges and achieving holistic well-being. My approach My approach is always client-centered, emphasizing collaboration and empowerment to facilitate meaningful and sustainable positive change. I have found it best to use an integrative approach, drawing from various theoretical frameworks to tailor interventions for each client's unique needs. I commonly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thought patterns and behaviors, Psychodynamic Therapy to explore underlying emotions and past experiences, and Solution-Focused Therapy to promote goal-oriented problem-solving. My focus I work with adults from all backgrounds, including individuals navigating life transitions, coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I am comfortable treating various mental health conditions, such as mood disorders, women's health issues (postpartum/pregnancy and infertility), adjustment disorders, and trauma-related issues. Additionally, I have experience supporting individuals facing issues related to self-esteem, identity (I am an LGBTQIA+ Ally), and interpersonal difficulties. My goal is to create a safe and inclusive space for clients to explore and address their unique concerns. My communication style In sessions, I strive to create a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I approach sessions with a compassionate tone, fostering an atmosphere of trust and collaboration. Clients often describe the experience of working with me as a safe space to explore their thoughts and emotions openly.
