Shelby Martini, LPC

Shelby Martini is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Idaho with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Shelby also addresses relationship and family issues, blended family concerns, parenting strain, grief, mood disorders, ADHD, and related areas.

Shelby uses a person-centered approach in sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client and the therapist follows the client’s lead while offering guidance. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.

When trauma is part of a person’s history, Shelby incorporates trauma-focused work to help clients process hard memories and reduce their ongoing impact. She prefers straightforward language and avoids stigmatizing labels during assessment and treatment. Sessions are practical and aimed at daily coping and clearer decision making.

Shelby will work to understand a client’s routine, stressors, and goals before suggesting specific strategies. She aims to help people notice patterns, build small habits, and practice skills between sessions. This approach can be useful for blended household challenges like shifting roles, loyalty conflicts, and co-parenting tensions.

Conversations are client-led and flexible. Shelby asks a few questions at the start to set goals and then adapts methods as progress is seen. English is the working language, and she practices in Idaho.
