Selma Wesley, LCSW

Selma Wesley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 24 years of experience. She sees people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, anger, and related life changes. She also pays attention to how prejudice and discrimination affect wellbeing.

Her background includes home and community-based counseling and work in varied service settings. That variety shaped a practical approach to common problems like career setbacks, intimacy issues, and coping after trauma or loss. She has worked with youth, teenagers, and young adults and brings that experience to sessions when relevant.

Sessions focus on clear goals and techniques that people can use between meetings. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered approaches, and mindfulness practices. Conversations aim to identify patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and to try different ways of responding.

In practice she keeps sessions interactive and solution-minded. Expect to talk through recent problems, experiment with small changes, and review what helps in daily life. The work often mixes skills training with reflection on values and relationships.

People who are dealing with prejudice or discrimination receive attention to how those experiences affect mood and behavior. Her approach is straightforward and focused on concrete steps people can use to manage strong emotions and improve important relationships.
