Getting to know Peyton Shelton

Hi there, my name is Peyton Shelton, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kentucky. I work with clients aged 13 and up, specializing in helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, and other life stressors. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and strengths-based therapy to assist my clients in becoming the best versions of themselves. My approach varies based on your specific needs. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where every client feels comfortable expressing themselves and their struggles. Together, we build a treatment plan tailored to you. I have found that my style and approach are especially a good fit for teens, first-time moms, and older adults facing life transitions, social pressures, and everything in between. These challenges often present as anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship issues. I work to help my clients navigate these periods and build skills that allow them to feel better and cope with whatever comes their way. My communication style is calm, personable, and warm, but also assertive when needed, because each client and session has different needs. I strive to make all my clients feel comfortable talking about anything and confident that they will be listened to without judgment. I have been a social worker for several years in various settings and have seen firsthand how much therapy can help. Now that I provide this service, I jumped at the opportunity. I love being part of someone’s journey to becoming their best self and witnessing tangible change. I believe goal setting is a collaborative process, and I understand that goals evolve and progress with each session.
