About Shae

Shae Schartner is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience at a nonprofit mental health clinic. She works primarily with adults and brings focused attention to concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger management, relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and major life transitions. She also enjoys working with couples and supporting people navigating caregiver stress and communication difficulties.

Shae holds certifications in trauma-informed care and Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - and she has training in Brainspotting phases 1 and 2. She is currently pursuing training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Before becoming a therapist, Shae worked in mental health settings beginning in 2017, including roles at a homeless shelter and an eating disorder clinic, which inform her practical, empathetic approach to care.

Her practice emphasizes skill-building and collaborative work to address issues such as guilt and shame, impulsivity, and mood disorders. As an LCSW Shae combines clinical knowledge with lived-setting experience to support clients as they explore coping strategies, improve communication, and navigate relationship and life changes.

DBT and Trauma-Informed Care Delivered Online

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - is a skills-based approach that teaches practical tools for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people coping with strong mood shifts, anger, or difficulties in relationships. Trauma-informed care is an orientation that recognizes the impact of past trauma and emphasizes sensitivity, respect, and collaboration when addressing painful experiences and their effects.

Shae brings these approaches into a collaborative online process. She works with clients to identify which methods fit their current needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant. Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a shared effort between the therapist and the client.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility for those with busy schedules or limited local options. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing continuity of care from home, work, or while traveling within the permitted service area. These options make it easier to access consistent support and to practice new skills in everyday life.
