About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Sheila also lists concerns such as relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and career questions among her focus areas.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns that come from their early family life. Sessions are centered on what is happening now and what practical steps a person can try between meetings. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral work and acceptance strategies to help change unhelpful thoughts and increase willingness to try new behaviors.

Attachment-focused ideas guide discussions about how early relationships shape expectations and emotional reactions. Emotionally-focused work supports people who want clearer emotional connection and better communication with others. Sheila combines these approaches with client-centered listening to prioritize each person’s immediate concerns and goals.

Sheila is comfortable addressing a wide range of topics, including body image, ADHD, caregiving stress, and codependency. She also works with people navigating issues tied to sexual expression, blended family dynamics, aging, and commitment problems. She provides care in English and accepts international clients.

To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Sheila uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Sheila draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and practical skills for coping in daily life. She also uses attachment-based ideas to talk about how early relationships influence expectations and reactions in present relationships. That work can help when old family roles keep repeating in adult life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sheila will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative decision and adjusts the plan based on what is and is not helpful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to support ongoing work on family-of-origin patterns, communication skills, and emotional coping without asking you to rearrange your day for every appointment.
