About Sheila

Sheila Hodge-Windover is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as intimate and interpersonal relationships. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She also supports work on self-esteem, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, and parenting challenges.

She uses clear, practical feedback in sessions. Conversations aim to identify workable steps and build on strengths.

Background and approach

Sheila draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness to shape treatment. Her background includes three years as a practicing LMFT in Oklahoma. She has experience guiding couples and adults through separation and life transitions, and addresses problems such as communication breakdown, control issues, jealousy, and isolation.

She also works with caregiver stress, impulsivity, hoarding, and issues tied to veteran and armed forces experiences. Sessions may include short-term coaching-style work or deeper therapy depending on needs. Sheila aims to make plans concrete so people can try new ways of relating between sessions.

She emphasizes collaboration and clear goals when helping clients change patterns. She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Treatment is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online approaches for relationship and family concerns

Sheila commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and actions to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in emotional responses and attachment needs to improve intimacy and communication in close relationships.

Sheila approaches treatment as a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Together they decide whether short-term solution-focused steps or deeper EFT-style work is the right next step for a given issue.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people connect from home, work, or while traveling and make scheduling more flexible. They also allow for brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching between longer sessions, so progress can continue even when life is busy.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
