About Selene

Selene Negrette is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with anger, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and mood changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

She helps people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions learn ways to respond differently. Her style is grounded and practical. She brings skills from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and somatic work to everyday problems.

In the room she focuses on what is happening now and what small changes can reduce reactivity. That may include noticing body sensations, learning specific skills to pause before reacting, or testing different ways of communicating. She also addresses past events when they are keeping someone stuck in old patterns.

Selene pays attention to attachment, codependency, communication problems, and workplace issues as they show up in someone's life. She supports people dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life decisions, multicultural stressors, and prejudice-related distress. The aim is clearer choices and fewer moments of snapping or simmering resentment.

Her approach mixes short-term skill building and deeper processing when needed. People who want direct, usable techniques for anger and relationship problems often find the sessions concrete and focused. To begin, clients use the platform matching steps and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Selene often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts that fuel anger and test small changes in thinking and behavior. CBT gives concrete tools for addressing workplace stress, relationship patterns, and recurring negative beliefs.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to build distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication. DBT-style techniques can be useful when someone needs step-by-step tactics to pause, track urges, and respond differently in high-emotion moments.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the specific situations that trigger anger. That way sessions focus on practical skills first and deeper processing when it helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and avoid travel between work and appointments. The therapist will discuss what session rhythm and length fit the client’s life during the intake process.
