Perrin "Shalea" Addison, LPC

Perrin "Shalea" Addison is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and parenting challenges. She aims to offer calm, attentive support as people work through difficult emotions and life transitions.

Her practice emphasizes evidence-based techniques delivered with compassion. She pays attention to each person's background and values, and includes faith-informed perspectives when clients want that considered. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs in the moment rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Perrin helps people build practical coping skills and stronger awareness of how thoughts and behaviors interact. She guides clients toward clearer routines and small changes that can reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. She also supports people in processing loss and trauma at a pace that feels manageable.

Communication in sessions is straightforward and goal-focused. Perrin and the client set priorities together and check progress along the way. Her style blends warmth with practical strategies designed for real-life problems.

People looking to connect should be prepared to talk about current struggles and recent history. Perrin encourages honest conversation and works to create a steady space where clients can test new ways of handling stress and relationships.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building coping skills. Cognitive approaches help people notice thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, and teach practical steps to shift those patterns. These methods are useful for managing stress, anxiety and depression.

Skills-based therapy emphasizes concrete tools you can use day to day. This includes breathing and grounding exercises, activity planning, and steps for handling overwhelming feelings. These tools support recovery from grief and trauma and help make parenting demands feel more manageable.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Perrin works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs and values. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online care can make attending sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people stay consistent with appointments during times of high stress. Ask about the specific session formats available when you complete the intake questionnaire.
