About Shea
Shea Kamp is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with five years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship tensions. Shea aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where someone can begin to sort through hard problems and feel heard.

Background and approach
Shea uses practical tools to manage strong emotions and rebuild routines after loss or big life changes. Her work includes help with parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, addictions, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Shea also supports people navigating adoption and foster care questions, blended family challenges, aging and geriatric concerns, and workplace issues.
She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to guide sessions. These approaches are used to teach emotion regulation, increase present-moment awareness, and strengthen motivation for change. Throughout the process Shea emphasizes collaboration and respect.
New clients are invited to share their priorities and try approaches that fit their life. She encourages small, steady steps and adjusts plans based on what is actually working.
How these approaches work online
Shea uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical techniques for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. DBT skills often include breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and step-by-step plans to handle crisis moments.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people increase present-moment awareness and reduce rumination. Mindfulness work usually involves short, guided attention practices and everyday exercises that can be repeated between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing is used to explore goals and strengthen a person's own reasons for change. This approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and building small action steps that feel doable.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shea collaborates with each person to identify priorities, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps. The process is adaptive so goals and methods shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let therapists and clients work face to face when helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, tracking goals, or practicing skills between longer appointments.
