About Selene
Selene Negrette is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship problems, grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, anxiety and stress, parenting concerns, mood issues, and family-related struggles. Selene is bilingual and conducts sessions in English and Spanish.
She helps people who identify as highly sensitive or empathic better understand their responses and find practical ways to live with sensitivity. In sessions she uses a strength-focused, nonjudgmental style and encourages people to notice their own resources. Conversations are grounded and direct, aimed at clearer choices and calmer reactions.
Selene draws on approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and somatic methods. That mix is used to address symptoms and the body-based experience of stress or trauma. She also integrates trauma-focused tools when they fit the client's needs.
Her work often centers on helping a person clarify values, set boundaries, and improve communication. She supports people coping with separation, caregiving and hospice related stress, workplace strain, and the fallout from prejudice or narcissistic relationships. Sessions emphasize small, usable changes rather than complex plans.
For a first step Selene asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Selene uses practical approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps the client clarify values, set boundaries, and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers straightforward tools to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Selene will work with the client to decide which methods to use and adjust them over time. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and changing course when something feels off. The plan is practical and paced to the client's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoid the need to travel. They also let a bilingual clinician conduct work in English or Spanish without geographic limits within the therapist's licensure. Working online still aims for clear goals, skill practice, and steady progress.
