About Sheila
Sheila Hodge-Windover is an Oklahoma-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on relationship challenges and a broad range of emotional and behavioral concerns.
Background and approach
Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem, along with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting and anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Additional attention is given to issues like abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, hoarding, impulsivity, isolation, jealousy, life purpose, and midlife transitions. Sheila favors an integrative, client-centered style that blends practical feedback with compassionate support to help people build on their strengths and pursue meaningful growth.
Her work includes cognitive behavioral techniques alongside emotionally focused and relational methods, and she incorporates mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools when appropriate to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. With three years of clinical experience as an LMFT, she aims to collaborate with clients on realistic strategies for change and improved relationship functioning.
Clients can access sessions from Oklahoma and internationally through a variety of remote formats. Sheila emphasizes an individualized plan for therapy, guiding clients to identify goals and tools that fit their situation and values.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care
Sheila uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to develop concrete coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on skills and exercises that translate well to remote sessions and between-session practice.She also employs Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address attachment and relational patterns by helping clients explore and reshape emotional responses within important relationships. EFT is useful for couples and individuals aiming to improve connection and communication. The Gottman Method is another relational approach she integrates when addressing couples or relationship dynamics, offering structured tools for improving interaction and conflict management.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sheila collaborates with clients to determine what methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She explains options, adapts techniques over time, and emphasizes a shared process of testing and refining strategies until a good fit emerges.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, allow work from wherever a client is located, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or busy schedules.
