About Sheila
Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor who offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on clear, doable steps toward better coping and greater calm. Sheila emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work.
She tailors conversations and plans to each person she meets. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-focused approaches.
Background and approach
That means sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, clarifying values and goals, and looking at relationship patterns that affect daily life. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with room for gentle pacing when trauma or grief is present. Over a decade of practice in Michigan has given Sheila experience with a broad range of concerns.
These include parenting questions, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, eating and body-image issues, and caregiver stress. She also addresses topics like communication problems, commitment struggles, and codependency. When working with stress, anxiety, or motivation, Sheila mixes practical skills and conversational support.
She helps identify small steps that fit a person’s life and priorities. The aim is to build skills that stick, so coping improves between sessions. Sheila is licensed as an LPC in Michigan.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients may be accommodated according to scheduling and format needs.
How Sheila’s Approaches Shape Online Therapy
Sheila blends a few clear methods to guide sessions online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions and connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. That plan can change over time based on what helps most, and decisions about techniques are made together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to keep continuity when schedules shift. The variety of formats also lets people use slower-paced or more immediate check-ins depending on what they need at the moment.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
