About Sheila
Sheila Gault is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, and family of origin issues. Sheila also addresses sleep problems, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related worries.
She works in a client-centered way and uses practical psychotherapy methods. Sessions often focus on developing clearer thinking, emotional regulation, and skills to manage everyday problems. Sheila draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Mindfulness and existential ideas are part of the work too. Mindfulness practices are used to build attention and calm. Existential ideas help people consider meaning, responsibility, and life choices when facing transitions.
Sheila has long experience helping people through grief, loss, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with family patterns that keep recurring into adulthood. Her aim is to help people increase self-awareness and take practical steps that reduce distress.
Her approach blends conversational counseling, skills practice, and reflective questions. Sessions can include talk, behavior-focused exercises, and simple mindfulness practices. People looking for a practical, experienced counselor who focuses on family of origin patterns and daily coping often find this style straightforward and clear.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Sheila uses client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the person. This approach emphasizes listening, reflection, and working from the client’s own goals and values. It is useful for people who want direct, person-focused support for life changes and relational patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that come from family of origin issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance and can be useful when strong emotions get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around caregiving, work, or other commitments.
