How her approaches translate to online work
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems like obsessive thoughts because it focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment attention. Those methods help with intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and managing cravings or urges. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen a persons own reasons for change when substance use or habit change is a focus.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sheila will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit their situation. She checks in about what works and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking if you need a specific format. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session would be hard to schedule. Therapists commonly use these advantages to focus on skills practice, progress tracking, and real-world problem solving.
