About Selene

Selene Negrette is a licensed social worker (LMSW) who supports adults navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She has 17 years of clinical experience and works with people who identify as highly sensitive or empathic, helping them recognize their strengths and develop practical ways to manage overwhelming situations. Selene uses a welcoming, nonjudgmental stance and emphasizes clients' existing resources as part of a strengths-based approach.

Her practice integrates cognitive and mindfulness-informed methods alongside skills-based strategies to help clients find clearer meaning, greater direction, and improved emotional balance. Selene draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, mindfulness techniques, and somatic awareness to address symptoms and coping patterns.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, she provides care to people across Michigan and adapts interventions to each person's needs and cultural context.

Approaches that inform online care and practical benefits



Selene commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce reactivity and improve relationships. Mindfulness-based elements are woven into sessions to increase present-moment awareness and support coping with difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Selene works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions accordingly, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit for the client’s situation.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows for flexibility in scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care around work and family commitments and to access therapeutic skills and support from wherever the client is located within Michigan.
