Getting to know Shelli Nunes-Briones

Hi there, I'm Shelli! I am Shelli Nunes-Briones, a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker (LCSW 20447) licensed in California since August 2001. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of California, Berkeley. I focus on helping people with 1) recovering from anxiety, depression/mood disorders, and trauma; 2) managing complex medical and psychosocial needs, including cognitive issues and changes; and 3) managing difficult life stressors, especially grief and loss. My approach I primarily use a cognitive-behavioral approach due to its proven efficacy in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. I stay current with research, use evidence-based treatments, and maintain best practices. My approach is highly individualized; I am insightful, creative, and flexible, using different methods to best address clients' needs. My focus I have experience with a diverse clientele and have diagnosed and treated most disorders. I am most comfortable treating mild to moderate mood disorders, especially depression, anxiety, trauma and stressor-related disorders—especially PTSD and adjustment disorders—ADHD, and substance use disorders. My communication style My style is empathic, accepting, warm, down-to-earth, and generally informal, emphasizing a safe and understanding space for clients. I actively seek and welcome honest feedback. Clients often say they feel deeply understood, helped, and validated by my approach. My journey to mental healthcare I am a therapist because I have a passion for working with people—empowering them, helping shift their thinking about themselves and their situations, reducing symptoms, finding hope, building new skills, restoring confidence, and learning how to recover their lives.
