About Sheila
Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. She speaks English and supports clients across state lines, working with many concerns including trauma, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and ADHD. Sheila aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She approaches each person as an individual and adapts conversations and plans to fit real life.
How Sheila works
Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking so people can act on what matters to them. She uses methods that help people notice thoughts and feelings, repair attachment wounds, and improve emotional connection. Her background includes ten years working in mental health settings and counseling roles in Michigan.
Sheila holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and draws on that clinical experience when shaping treatment. She has experience addressing both mood conditions like bipolar disorder and depression and behavioral concerns such as addiction and eating struggles. In session she blends acceptance-based ideas with cognitive-behavioral strategies and emotionally-focused work.
That mix supports people who want both symptom relief and healthier relationship patterns. The work is collaborative - she listens and adjusts as goals and needs change. Sheila also helps with career strain, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and complex issues like attachment or identity questions.
She encourages realistic steps and simple practices that fit into busy lives.

Online support options
How her approaches fit with online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values when anxiety, avoidance, or low mood get in the way. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional responses, and it helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sheila will discuss goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. She adjusts direction as progress and priorities shift so the work stays practical and meaningful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper emotional work and reading nonverbal cues. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth or the need for a shorter check-in matters. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates, try short check-ins between sessions, or keep momentum when schedules are tight. These formats give flexibility to keep therapy steady while balancing work, family, and other obligations.
