About Sheilla
Sheilla Brunelus helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Sheilla is a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed professional counselor with seven years of experience. Sheila speaks English and sees clients based in Florida.
Sheilla focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing isolation, communication problems, questions about life purpose, mood shifts, and building self-love.
How Sheilla works
Her approach aims to address what matters most to each person. In sessions Sheilla talks through practical steps and small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable. She uses structured techniques when useful and combines them with conversations about feelings and goals.
The work often includes setting short-term goals, trying new skills between sessions, and checking progress together. Sheilla describes her style as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. Sheila tailors the conversation and the plan to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.
She encourages people to take gradual steps toward a life that feels more fulfilling. People starting with Sheilla first complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Meetings can occur by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on what fits the person’s routine.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Sheilla uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on small experiments and skill building to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Sheilla also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of traumatic experiences; this approach focuses on processing difficult events and helping people regain a sense of safety and control. Motivational Interviewing appears in her work when people feel stuck and need help finding their own reasons to try change; it uses gentle questions to boost motivation and set manageable goals.Choosing the right method is a shared process. Sheilla will talk with each person about their goals, past efforts, and what feels most doable. Together they will pick or blend approaches and adjust the plan as progress is checked over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, on-the-go reflection, or when a written approach helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep work moving forward between sessions.
