I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have experience providing services to children, teens, adults, and families. I earned my Masters of Social Work and became a licensed social worker in 2013, and I became a clinical social worker in 2021.
I have experience working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, ODD, PTSD, ASD, Emotional Regulation, Self-Esteem, Domestic Violence, absent parents, Sexual Assault, social justice-related trauma, and various gender and sexuality identities.
I view therapy as a teamwork approach, working with the client as the expert on themselves. I am there to help them work toward their goals and toward leading a positive and fulfilling life. I also view the whole family as the client when working with children, and I love parent involvement. I have been working as a virtual therapist since 2021 and have found fun, creative ways to work with clients of all ages.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shelby Cordeiro. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Shelby has been amazing in helping me learn techniques to help myself deal with the feelings of anxiety I have had since having my son. She listens, gives me time and space to think about a situation, and provides insights to a situation that I did not see before talking about it. I have felt less overwhelmed in my daily life and able to deal with stressors and changes that occur in a healthy manner since starting therapy with Shelby.

Shelby is a smart, empathetic counselor that allows for constructive discourse or and space for venting when needed. In other words, she adapts to the client and specifically to me and that makes a world of difference if you also have ADHD and trauma.
