About Sheila
Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and challenges that affect daily functioning. She approaches each person with respect and sensitivity and focuses on practical steps that can improve day-to-day life. Sheila draws on ten years of clinical experience in Michigan and tailors conversations to fit each person's needs.
Sessions focus on identifying workable strategies, building confidence, and improving motivation. She aims to make therapy feel straightforward and relevant to what matters most right now.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses trauma, addiction, and relationship concerns using clear, structured methods. Sheila helps people work through difficult emotions and develop tools to handle triggers and setbacks. She also supports those facing career stress, caregiving strain, or major life changes.
Sheila uses a mix of approaches to match the situation, including cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful patterns and attachment-based ideas to improve closeness and trust. She centers conversations on clients' goals and encourages steady, achievable progress rather than quick fixes. Practical issues like communication, boundaries, and self-esteem are common topics in sessions.
Sheila also offers coaching-style support for people wanting clearer plans and accountability. Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on skills people can use between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation problems because it focuses on doing what matters despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sheila will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That process may include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting the plan as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain momentum between sessions, and access help from locations outside the therapist's office.
