About Sheba
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 15 years of experience, Sheba Shiver helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma and grief. She supports parents facing parenting strain and people coping with anger, self-esteem issues, career questions, and major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in California.
Sheba focuses on helping people find their voice and set clear boundaries in relationships. She begins by building a working alliance and learning how a person relates to others. That early work guides how she and a client communicate and set goals together.
Her approach draws on practical methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, elements of narrative and existential thinking, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She uses these methods to identify unhelpful thinking, clarify values and stories, and develop small, doable changes in behavior.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration. She learns from each person's experience and offers perspectives that clients can try out between meetings. Work in therapy often includes practicing new ways to speak up, setting boundaries, and testing different responses in real life.
Sheba frames progress as stepwise and concrete. Appointments focus on specific goals, coping strategies for stress and anxiety, and clearer communication in relationships. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk about initial concerns.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress by breaking problems into small, actionable steps.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach brief attention practices and grounding techniques. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity and supports clearer thinking during stressful moments.
The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. She will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust techniques as work progresses.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk through scheduling and session length during the first appointment to find a practical plan that fits everyday life.
