Shirley Grube, LCSW

Shirley Grube is a Pennsylvania Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 40 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. She also addresses self-esteem, motivation, career concerns, and life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that reduce tension and improve daily functioning.

Shirley encourages clients to recognise their own strengths and to build on what already works. She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and supports them in choosing methods that fit their lives. This includes working through grief, adjusting after loss, and managing workplace stress.

When anger shows up as snapping at loved ones, simmering resentment, or frustration at work, Shirley helps people identify triggers and practice alternative responses. She talks through practical coping skills and problem-solving strategies that can be used between sessions.

Her years of work include substance-related concerns, communication problems, and issues around isolation and panic. People who want clear, skills-based sessions that focus on everyday results find her style direct and focused.
