About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns. Sheila also lists blended family issues among her areas of focus.

Sheila keeps conversations direct and practical. She helps people sort through difficult feelings and build workable coping strategies. Sessions commonly cover problem-solving, emotion regulation, and changes people can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on several well-known methods. Sheila uses elements of cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also incorporates attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect reactions and expectations.

Sheila values a client-centered way of working, which means the client’s goals shape the plan. She may use acceptance and commitment ideas to help clarify values and focus on small, concrete steps. Emotionally-focused tools can come into play when addressing closeness and communication issues.

Sheila accepts clients internationally and conducts sessions in English. Her practice notes that subscription-based fees apply and can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Sheila commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and attachment-based therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based therapy looks at how earlier and current relationship patterns shape expectations and reactions, which can help when relationship tensions or blended household dynamics cause repeated conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Sheila will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying a single technique. That process typically involves trying out strategies and adjusting based on what helps most.

Confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific session types. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and cut down travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for communication choices that suit a person’s daily routine. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and attachment exercises to work over distance, focusing on practical tools you can use between meetings.
