About Selina
Selina Wilkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, evidence-based therapies to help people manage daily struggles. She focuses on creating calm and forward movement for people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and stress. Selina keeps language simple and direct so families and individuals can understand what to expect in sessions.
Selina draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-based work to shape each plan.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to clarify what matters most, reduce unhelpful patterns, and build realistic coping skills. Conversations are collaborative and goal-oriented rather than lecture-style. She also brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy and a client-centered stance when emotions run high.
Those methods help with intense feelings, relationship hurts, and motivation or self-esteem concerns. Selina works with people on issues like sleep, eating, addiction, career stress, and compassion fatigue. With 22 years of experience, she has supported people through life transitions, chronic health challenges, and trauma responses.
Her style is steady and compassionate, focused on small, usable changes that add up over time. She encourages practical steps between sessions that fit everyday life. Selina practices from Michigan and offers multiple online session formats.
To start, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire so scheduling can be arranged according to availability.
Approaches for online therapy that fit daily life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and it focuses on committed action toward chosen values. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation feels low.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep issues, and low mood because it gives clear exercises to practice between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns in relationships and how past bonds influence current reactions and trust. It can help with intimacy challenges, communication problems, and longstanding attachment-related distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Selina will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, and she adjusts plans based on goals and what feels most helpful. Therapy is a shared process of trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and changing course when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, in-the-moment skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy part of a busy life.
