About Sheila
Sheila Cano is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with 12 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, anger, and career or life transitions. Sheila communicates in English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps people can use at home and at work.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. Sheila uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and take value-based action. She also incorporates Attachment-Based work to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. EMDR may be used for processing strong memories when that fits a persons needs.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Sheila helps people name what matters, test small behavior changes, and practice new ways of relating. She focuses on real-world coping skills for sleep, cravings, anger, and stress so daily life feels more manageable.
Sheila has worked with clients around family problems, communication breakdowns, abandonment and attachment wounds, codependency, and recovery from substance issues. She also supports people facing guilt, shame, infidelity, or isolation. Her work often combines talking, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions based on personal values. Online work can focus on small, practical steps to reconnect with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. Through online sessions clients can practice thought records, behavior experiments, and brief homework between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. In teletherapy these themes are explored through conversation, exercises, and role practice to shift how people relate.Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust focus as needs change over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets people use screen or phone-based sessions to match comfort with video, minimize bandwidth needs, or keep sessions concise during a work break. The therapist will help plan practical steps that fit a client's daily life and goals.
