About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction challenges, trauma, and issues related to relationships and self-esteem. She brings a decade of clinical experience and emphasizes respectful, sensitive care tailored to each client's circumstances.

Background and approach

Sheila frames therapy as a collaborative process and meets clients where they are, adapting conversations and plans to reflect individual goals and strengths. Clients can expect an approach that combines practical strategies with compassionate support.

Sheila uses evidence-informed methods to address motivation, confidence, coping with life changes, and complex concerns such as bipolar symptoms, ADHD, intimacy and family dynamics, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also attends to areas like body image, attachment difficulties, communication problems, and challenges arising from blended families or caregiving roles.

Licensed in Michigan as an LPC, Sheila accepts international clients and works in English. She encourages taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life and offers guidance through the early stages of change, partnering with clients to create plans that reflect each person’s values and priorities.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Sheila often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and problematic behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another frequent tool she employs to support values-driven action and to build psychological flexibility when facing difficult emotions. These methods are presented in straightforward, skills-based ways that translate well to remote work.

Finding the best approach is collaborative: Sheila works with clients to explore which methods match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. She adapts techniques from different traditions so that treatment plans feel personalized rather than one-size-fits-all, and she invites clients to give feedback as part of the process.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. This range of formats makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain momentum between appointments, and use tools and exercises in real-world settings with therapist support.
