Shelly Bialo, LPC, BAA, MA
Specializes In:
Shelly Bialo, LPC, helps teens, adults, and seniors across Michigan build stronger relationships, improve emotional well-being, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. As a Licensed Professional Counselor at LifeStance Health, she provides individual, couples, and family therapy with a compassionate, structured approach tailored to each client’s goals. Shelly frequently supports individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns, offering practical tools and a supportive environment for meaningful, lasting change. Shelly is dedicated to helping clients move through complex life transitions and relational struggles with clarity and purpose. While she treats a wide range of mental health conditions, her work consistently centers on empowering clients to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns, especially in moments of stress or uncertainty. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), couples counseling, and faith-based treatment approaches, while offering additional therapeutic modalities based on individual needs. Shelly brings a balanced perspective to care, blending clinical expertise with genuine empathy. She works collaboratively with clients to strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and address the underlying factors contributing to distress. Her experience includes helping individuals and couples manage mood challenges, rebuild trust, and develop healthier connections in both personal and family relationships. Outside of her clinical work, Shelly enjoys music and movement, drawing from her background in dance and figure skating. She loves traveling and finds renewal by the ocean, and she values maintaining a healthy work-life balance. She also cherishes time with her goldendoodle, Sophia, who has previously supported clients as a comforting presence in therapeutic settings.
