About Selina
Selina Wilkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people reconnect with their bodies and emotions through somatic work. She offers calm, practical support for those feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, or low self-esteem. Selina writes plainly and meets people where they are, helping them take small steps toward feeling better.
She uses somatic approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice physical reactions and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to link what the body feels with what the mind thinks, so clients can find clearer choices in daily life. The therapist also draws on attachment-informed ideas to address relationship and intimacy concerns. Selina has 22 years of experience as a clinician in Michigan and holds an LPC credential.
She offers a steady, non-judgmental presence and works at a pace each person can manage. The focus is on practical tools rather than jargon, so people can use what they learn after sessions end. Her background includes supporting people with addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career transitions, chronic illness, and complex grief.
She also helps with issues like body image, communication problems, and caregiving strain. Selina aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her. Getting started involves a short matching process and scheduling a format that fits the client.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as options for ongoing work.
How somatic and evidence-based approaches work online
Somatic work helps people notice how emotions show up in the body and use that awareness to reduce overwhelm. In online sessions this might mean tracking breathing, muscle tension, or posture and then trying gentle adjustments to shift how a person feels. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them while learning to accept hard feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants more direction.These approaches are explored together with the client in a collaborative way. The therapist will listen to goals, try techniques, and check in about what fits. Finding the right mix is a process and the therapist helps adjust methods based on how the client responds and what feels most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Clients can work from home, take shorter check-in chats between sessions, or use messages to keep momentum. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while trying out somatic and ACT-based tools with a licensed professional.
