About Selene

Selene Negrette is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family concerns, grief, and shifts in mood and life circumstances.

Background and approach

She seeks to support people in discovering strengths, clarifying values, and finding practical strategies to cope with emotional overwhelm and challenging transitions. Selene also works with clients who identify as highly sensitive or empathic, offering guidance to recognize their strengths and learn how to navigate environments that can feel overwhelming.

Her practice emphasizes a nonjudgmental, welcoming stance grounded in strength-based care and mindfulness-informed techniques. Selene integrates approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior therapy skills, and trauma-focused interventions to address patterns that maintain distress and to foster greater self-understanding and emotional regulation.

She provides services in both English and Spanish and brings 17 years of clinical experience as a Michigan-licensed LMSW. Practical supports, skills training, and collaboration guide her work as clients explore meaning, repair relationships, and build more sustainable coping in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people notice and relate to different parts of themselves - the protective, wounded, or reactive parts - with curiosity and compassion so those parts can shift toward healing; this approach can be useful when working with trauma responses, shame, or internal conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve communication.

Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Selene collaborates with each client to determine what fits best for their goals, needs, and preferences. She uses assessment, dialogue, and ongoing feedback to adapt methods over time so therapy remains focused and relevant. Clients are invited to participate in choosing skills-based practices, somatic or mindfulness exercises, and exploratory work with inner parts when appropriate.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to access care from home or between commitments. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling and let clients continue work on skills and processing in ways that match their lifestyle and comfort while maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
