About Pamela
Pamela Shultz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and major life changes. Pamela draws on her background as a Navy veteran and a parent to relate to the practical demands of everyday life.
She focuses on substance use and recovery, helping people notice the behaviors that keep them stuck. Sessions emphasize emotional regulation and building concrete skills for better day-to-day functioning. Pamela uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based strategies to address habits and patterns.
Her approach mixes Client-Centered care with methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That means she listens first, then collaborates on small, achievable steps. Mindfulness and Existential ideas are also woven in when they suit the client's goals.
People often come for help with communication problems, codependency, blended family stress, or coping with aging and caregiver strain. Pamela also supports adults dealing with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, body image, chronic illness, cancer, and life events such as divorce.
Sessions aim to be practical and steady. Pamela works with each person to set clear goals, practice new skills, and track progress. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking so they understand how to meet with her.
How sessions work
How Pamela’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people can understand their feelings and decide on next steps. This approach helps with parenting stress, relationship strain, and general anxiety.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and addictive behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is practical for substance use, habit change, and any goal that needs steady commitment. Pamela combines these methods depending on what a person requests and what fits their goals.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Pamela will collaborate with each person to try approaches, check what helps, and adjust the plan. That way the focus stays on realistic steps and measurable progress.
The reader should confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten simple check-ins, or avoid travel time. It also allows continuity of care when life events make in-person visits difficult, while therapists and clients decide together which session rhythm suits daily life best.
