About Selene
Selene Negrette is a licensed social worker who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, and trauma. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by life changes or work strain. She also supports those coping with anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Selene speaks English and Spanish and brings 17 years of experience to her work. Selene uses a mix of somatic approaches and talk-based methods. That means she pays attention to how the body holds stress while also exploring thoughts and patterns.
Background and approach
Clients learn skills to calm the nervous system, notice unhelpful thinking, and try small changes that build confidence. Her style is nonjudgmental and strengths-based. Sessions often include mindfulness practices and concrete tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches.
The focus is on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. She has particular experience with grief, trauma and abuse, attachment and codependency concerns, and workplace and multicultural issues. Selene also supports people facing divorce, hospice and end-of-life questions, and discrimination-related stress.
Her background helps her guide people through both sudden and long-term changes. Sessions can include discussion, body-based exercises, and skill practice tailored to each person. Selene helps clients set realistic goals and find small steps forward.
Her aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to face challenges in daily life.
Somatic and skills-based approaches online
Selene blends somatic therapy with client-centered and cognitive-behavioral methods. Somatic therapy pays attention to how stress shows up in the body and uses simple grounding and breathing practices to reduce physical tension. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people find their own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build step-by-step changes to improve mood and daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Selene will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they set small, practical goals and try different techniques to see what helps most.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. These formats let people work on skills, practice grounding exercises, and process feelings from home or work. The variety of options supports different schedules and communication preferences and helps people keep therapy consistent during busy or stressful periods.
