Shelby Bartley, LCP
Clinical Level Therapist & Assessment Administrator | Independent Contractor (In Person Community & Virtual)

Shelby Bartley is a Clinical Level Therapist with Midwest Anxiety who is dedicated to helping individuals develop the skills and confidence needed to better manage anxiety and navigate life’s challenges. Shelby works with clients who want to reduce anxiety, strengthen emotional regulation, and improve executive functioning skills so they can function more effectively at school, work, and in daily life.

Shelby has experience supporting individuals with a range of clinical presentations including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and specific anxiety disorders. She has a particular passion for working with neurodivergent individuals and strives to create a therapeutic environment that is supportive, affirming, and tailored to each client’s unique way of thinking and experiencing the world.

Shelby’s approach to therapy focuses on helping clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical tools that promote independence and confidence. She works collaboratively with individuals to identify goals, build effective coping strategies, and gradually face the situations that anxiety may be preventing them from engaging in.

Shelby integrates several evidence-based therapeutic approaches into her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These approaches allow her to help clients increase psychological flexibility, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and gradually face fears in a structured and supportive way.
