Shalyndria Parker, LPC-MHSP

Shalyndria Parker is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee who brings three years of clinical experience to her work. She offers a warm, collaborative approach grounded in cultural humility, honoring the full complexity of each person she meets and the life circumstances that have shaped them.

Her practice supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, major life transitions, and related concerns such as stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and coping with change. She has worked with diverse populations in both individual and group settings, creating a space where clients can reflect, heal, and build practical skills.

Shalyndria is DBT certified and trained in EMDR. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal patterns. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured method used to help process distressing memories and their emotional impact. Together these evidence-based techniques support practical coping and trauma processing alongside supportive talk therapy.

Shalyndria frames therapy as a partnership rather than a fixing process. She aims to help people rediscover their voice, strengthen self-worth, and move toward intentional living. Those interested in beginning work with her are invited to reach out and explore whether her approach is a good fit.

DBT and EMDR Approaches Delivered Online

Shalyndria integrates two notable evidence-based approaches into online care. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving how people relate to others; it is useful for stress, mood challenges, and difficulties with interpersonal conflict. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured method aimed at helping people process and lessen the lingering impact of traumatic or distressing memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shalyndria works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, preferences, and which methods feel most appropriate, adjusting the plan over time as needs change.

Online therapy with Shalyndria is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and to access care from home or other convenient locations. This flexibility supports ongoing engagement and makes it possible to use skills and strategies in real-world moments between sessions.
