About Pamela
Pamela Shultz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, and addiction. She draws on her background as a Navy veteran and a parent to relate to people juggling many responsibilities.

She helps people untangle patterns that keep them stuck. That often means looking at how thoughts, emotions, and routines interact.
Background and approach
Pamela uses straightforward tools so clients can try new behaviors between sessions and notice what changes. Sessions move at a practical pace. Pamela listens first, then helps set small goals that fit daily life.
She emphasizes emotional regulation, clearer communication, and strategies for coping with major life shifts such as separation, relocation, or recovery from substance use. Her work draws from client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness approaches among others. Those methods are used to build skills, reframe unhelpful thinking, and increase present-moment awareness.
Pamela keeps language simple and focuses on what a person can do next. Pamela has three years of clinical experience and holds an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. She practices in Louisiana and conducts sessions in English.
People access her services through online formats including video, phone, live chat, and messaging.

Approaches that guide online support and parenting care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so people can talk through parenting stress, relationship issues, or recovery concerns. It helps people find their own solutions while the therapist offers support and reflection.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, addictive behaviors, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These techniques are practical for managing stress during busy days or when parenting responsibilities feel overwhelming.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Pamela will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time to fit real life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face time when it matters, while phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework prompts, or quick coping suggestions between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain steady progress.
