Shelley Stisser, LPC

Shelley Stisser is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of experience working with adults across Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. She approaches therapy with a focus on helping individuals identify both their strengths and the obstacles that limit progress, creating a clearer understanding of patterns that contribute to distress. Shelley uses cognitive processing and other tailored techniques to explore factors underlying anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, strained relationships, unmet goals, and communication breakdowns.

Her work emphasizes teaching practical skills and strategies so people can better recognize and respond to their emotions. By combining client-centered methods with evidence-informed approaches, she helps clients develop coping tools and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Shelley draws on a range of clinical styles to match each person’s needs, encouraging self-discovery and steady, manageable change.

Shelley communicates in English and brings a calm, collaborative presence to sessions, guiding adults through stress, life transitions, grief, issues with self-esteem, addictive behaviors, eating and body image concerns, compassion fatigue, and related challenges. As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor who has completed graduate-level training and state licensure - she integrates practical skills with thoughtful exploration to support meaningful progress.
