Sheila Flipse, LCPC, LMHC - Therapist in Nevada

About Sheila

Sheila Flipse is a licensed counselor who brings three decades of clinical experience to her work. She holds LCPC licensure in Nevada and LMHC licensure in New York, and she focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Sheila listens carefully and meets clients where they are in plain, straightforward language.

She favors practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing.

Background and approach

In sessions she helps people notice thinking patterns that make problems worse and then practices small, realistic changes to reduce distress. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Her background includes counseling in settings such as shelters, prisons, colleges, and services for older adults and veterans.

That variety informs a flexible, down-to-earth style that aims to build confidence and clearer decision making. Sheila has led a college course on death and dying and has particular experience with grief and end-of-life concerns. Clients can expect a steady, respectful presence and an emphasis on skills that fit daily life.

Sheila often frames work around practical steps and short-term goals while also attending to deeper losses and relationship challenges. She describes her role as walking alongside people through recovery and growth. Outside of work she enjoys travel, volunteering, and time with her Shichon dog, Ozzie.

Sheila works from Nevada and offers sessions using several online formats to make therapy accessible.

Therapeutic tools and online care that fit your life

Sheila commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build motivation when someone feels stuck or uncertain.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Sheila collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules, follow up between sessions, and maintain continuity when travel or other life events make in-person visits difficult. The range of options supports flexible pacing and different communication preferences while working toward clear, practical changes.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
