About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Sheila also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns and supports people coping with major life changes.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her main approaches to help people notice and name difficult emotions and attachment patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients clarify values, change unhelpful thinking, and build practical coping skills. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and straightforward dialogue instead of jargon.

People who come to Sheila can expect focused conversations about what matters most to them. She pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and daily life. She helps people spot behaviors that get in the way and practices small changes that feel doable between sessions.

Her background includes work with issues such as ADHD, grief and abandonment, body image and eating concerns, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to sexual expression like BDSM and kink. Sheila also supports clients managing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder alongside other life stresses.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted; confirm current session options before booking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the provided online options.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sheila uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name emotions that drive relationship and personal patterns. EFT focuses on how feelings shape behavior and on creating new, more secure ways of connecting to oneself and others. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take action aligned with those values, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Sheila will work with each client to decide which combination of EFT, ACT, or CBT fits their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That conversation happens early on and can be adjusted as work progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make brief check-ins easier and can be scheduled around work or caregiving responsibilities. Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Licensed professionals can use different methods to support steady progress without requiring a large time commitment.
