About Sheilla
Sheilla Brunelus is a licensed mental health counselor with seven years of experience practicing in Florida. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression. She conducts sessions in English and focuses on building practical ways to manage difficult feelings and behaviors.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other methods to help clients name their emotions and change unhelpful patterns. In sessions she guides clients through noticing feelings, understanding triggers, and trying specific steps to shift responses. Conversations are direct and focused on concrete skills and strategies rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes work across several clinical approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those methods are used to boost motivation, set short-term goals, and address the impact of past traumatic events in manageable ways.
Sheilla adapts the pace to the person in front of her, combining short-term problem solving with attention to underlying emotions. That might mean practicing a new thought, running through a coping plan, or naming a feeling that keeps recurring. Sessions aim to be practical and readable between meetings.
Practical details are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary depending on location. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the platform's online pathways.
How her approaches are used in online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people put words to difficult emotions and see how those feelings shape their actions. It is often used when strong emotions repeat and make everyday interactions harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Motivational Interviewing aims to boost a person's own reasons for change, using focused questions to clarify goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheilla will discuss options and help decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as sessions continue.
