About Selene
Selene Negrette is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. She welcomes clients looking for steady support and practical tools. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Selene draws on straightforward, skills-based methods to help people notice what gets in the way and try new ways of coping. She uses client-centered work to follow each person's priorities and CBT to spot patterns that keep stress and worry running.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and somatic ideas are woven in to help with strong emotions and body tension. Her practice pays attention to trauma and abuse history and how it can show up now. She also supports people facing workplace stress, compassion fatigue, identity-based concerns, and issues around attachment or codependency.
Selene aims to help a person find clearer boundaries, improved communication, and more self-compassion. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. A typical visit might include mapping a recent problem, trying a skill, and setting a small, achievable goal for the week.
She emphasizes strengths and offers step-by-step ways to try new habits between sessions. With 17 years of experience in clinical social work, Selene blends evidence-informed techniques with a warm, nonjudgmental stance. Her background and bilingual ability make her a fit for people who want direct, culturally sensitive support in English or Spanish.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Selene uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person, listening first and shaping sessions around a person's goals and values. This approach helps parents and caregivers feel heard and decide which changes they want to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going and then practicing concrete skills to shift them; it is useful for worry, low mood, parenting stress, and many everyday problems.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Selene collaborates with each person to test methods and tools, adjusting the focus as needs and goals change over time. She combines talking, skill practice, and short exercises she recommends between sessions so the work continues outside scheduled meetings.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and work through role-play or guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in, while live chat and text allow brief, timely support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family lives and varied schedules.
