About Sheila

She also supports clients facing trauma, substance issues, bipolar mood challenges, and problems with sleep, eating, impulse control, and self-esteem. Sheila practices in Oklahoma and works with adults seeking practical, steady guidance.
Sheila’s style is direct and compassionate. She gives clear feedback and practical steps people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on building strengths, improving communication, and creating routines that make daily life easier. Her work uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, the Gottman Method, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness. Sheila blends these methods to match each person’s goals and situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
She has three years of clinical experience and holds the LMFT credential, which is a licensed marriage and family therapist credential. Sheila mixes structured skill practice with exploratory talk so clients can both learn tools and address deeper emotional patterns.
People who come for help often leave with clearer ways to handle conflict, better sleep and focus habits, and skills for managing strong emotions. Sheila emphasizes steady progress and practical strategies that fit into busy lives.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Sheila uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try concrete behavior changes that improve daily function. CBT is often useful for anxiety, ADHD-related routines, sleep, and mood management. She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to help people understand and shift patterns in close relationships and to strengthen emotional connection and regulation.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sheila will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether a skills-based plan, emotion-focused work, or a mix of methods will best match the client’s needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing, flexible support and quick check-ins between longer sessions.
