About Shiloe
Shiloe Mecham is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with five years of professional counseling experience. He focuses on young adult concerns such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, ADHD, stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains and career questions.
He spends sessions helping people turn pain, shame, and self-doubt into greater confidence and clearer next steps. Conversations tend to focus on practical skills - managing stress, improving productivity, building confidence, and handling big life transitions. He also uses coaching techniques to set goals and track progress in work and study.
Shiloe draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs. He combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses dialectical behavior therapy ideas when people need skills for intense emotions and relationships.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and action oriented. Typical work includes making short-term plans, practicing new coping skills, and talking through difficult memories at a pace the client chooses. He pays attention to attachment and family of origin themes when they affect present relationships or self-view.
He practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English. Starting is done by completing a brief questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting, where goals and practical steps are agreed on together.
Approach and online sessions with therapy tools
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their goals and feel understood while deciding what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors for anxiety, low mood, and productivity problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which tools to use, based on goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That might mean starting with skill-building work, then adding narrative or trauma-focused steps if memories or past events are getting in the way.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm what formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around school or work and reduce travel time. They can also let someone use a shorter check-in when days are busy, or avoid being on camera when that helps them focus. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so skills practice and goal-setting continue between meetings.
