About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are handling stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and concerns around self-esteem and motivation. Sheila also works with issues common in young adulthood such as relationship strain, career uncertainty, and coping with life changes.

Sheila uses straightforward conversation to clarify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside exploring feelings and patterns that keep problems repeating. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Her background includes work with intimacy-related concerns, LGBT issues, eating and body image struggles, ADHD, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. Sheila also supports people working through family conflict, caregiving stress, and grief over abandonment or other losses. She has ten years of combined experience in clinical settings and community work.

In session she aims to be direct and respectful, offering concrete tools and check-ins on progress. Clients can expect conversations about goals, coping skills to use between meetings, and adjustments to the plan as needed. Sheila accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

Booking begins by selecting the online therapy options button and completing a short matching questionnaire. The process then leads to scheduling a first session and discussing fees, which vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Sheila’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Sheila uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that fit well with online sessions. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which often translates into clear exercises and homework between visits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sheila will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That means setting goals together, trying approaches for a few sessions, and adjusting based on what helps with daily life and progress toward those goals.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or travel schedules. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight and reduce the need to commute. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep work consistent while people manage busy or changing lives.
