About Shirley

Shirley Delmoral is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 11 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger, depression, and major life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and respectful. Shirley focuses on listening and understanding before offering direction.

In sessions she builds an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Background and approach

Conversations are steady and practical. Clients are invited to tell their stories and notice which patterns matter most to them. She draws from Narrative Therapy to help people reframe personal stories that keep them stuck.

She pairs that with Client-Centered techniques that prioritize the person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral strategies are used when practical steps and new skills will help reduce anxiety or manage mood. Shirley also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support self-awareness and small, achievable change.

Those tools help with overwhelm, impulsivity, and self-critical thoughts. Sessions focus on what a person can try between meetings as well as what comes up in the room. People come to Shirley for worries about parenting strain, workplace stress, loneliness, panic, obsessions, or issues around pregnancy and childbirth.

She helps young adults navigate life transitions and supports people working through guilt, shame, and communication problems. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people set clear goals, try practical exercises, and track progress at a comfortable pace.

Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Shirley directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How these approaches work online

Shirley often combines Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered care and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and find different, more helpful ways to describe their life. Client-Centered care focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical tools and exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shirley will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That makes therapy a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted over time rather than fixed from the start.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a quick break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, frequent steps toward change. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or long commutes while keeping focus on the therapeutic work.
