Selene Negrette , LMSW

Selene Negrette is a licensed social worker (LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker) who works with adults to navigate relationship challenges, grief and bereavement, trauma, anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and family issues. She brings a strength-based, nonjudgmental stance that invites clients to recognize their resilience while exploring the patterns that get in the way of greater satisfaction and direction in life.

Selene has a particular interest in supporting people who identify as highly sensitive persons or empaths, helping them recognize the gifts of sensitivity and develop practical ways to live well in environments that can feel overwhelming. Her work blends mindfulness-informed cognitive behavioral techniques and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help clients build emotional regulation, clearer communication, and meaningful change.

In addition to these approaches, Selene has training in trauma-informed Emotional Freedom Techniques, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Internal Family Systems work, which she integrates as appropriate to address embodied effects of trauma and internal parts work. She conducts therapy bilingually in English and Spanish and offers a compassionate, collaborative space for clients to explore healing and growth.

Online Approaches for Mindful Change and Regulation

Selene draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete tools for change.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or difficulty tolerating stress.

Mindfulness practices are woven into her work to help clients build present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and strengthen self-compassion. These practices support coping with life transitions, grief, and trauma-related responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Selene works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules, easier access for those with mobility or geographic constraints, and multiple ways to engage so clients can choose what feels most comfortable.
