About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and changes in life. She works with clients facing trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Sheila aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and direct. Sheila uses clear, practical talk to help people identify patterns that get in the way. She offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Emotionally-Focused work, and client-centered techniques. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings as well as insight during them. With ten years of experience, Sheila adapts her approach to each person. She listens first, then helps set short-term goals that match what matters to the client. Many clients work on coping skills, communication, and strategies for managing mood or addictive behaviors. Sheila also supports people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver burden, body image concerns, and job or career transitions. She acknowledges the strain of compassion fatigue and helps with practical ways to restore energy and balance. Her work includes attention to attachment issues and intimacy-related difficulties. People who meet with Sheila can expect straightforward, respectful conversation and step-by-step planning. New clients complete a brief questionnaire so sessions can start focused and productive. Sheila practices in Michigan and offers services in English, including options for international clients.

Common approaches used in online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and problematic habits by teaching practical skills to change thinking and behavior.



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior. It emphasizes values and small committed actions to create a more meaningful daily life.



Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. It is useful for people who want to improve closeness, trust, and emotional safety in relationships.



Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick or blend methods so sessions match the client's needs.



Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for longer sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or written reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life changes.
