Sheila Flipse, LCPC, LMHC

Sheila Flipse is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 30 years of counseling experience. She has worked across many settings and focuses on grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also helps people with self-esteem, parenting concerns, addiction, trauma, and relationship and family problems.

Sheila trained and practiced in several countries before settling in the United States. Her professional history includes work with homeless adults, older adults, people who were incarcerated, college students, and military-connected individuals. She developed and taught a college course on death and dying, and has provided hospice and end-of-life counseling in past roles.

Her style centers on practical, skills-based work rooted largely in cognitive behavioral therapy with motivational interviewing techniques. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, testable changes in daily routines. She encourages building concrete skills that boost confidence and improve coping with life changes.

Sheila also uses narrative and solution-focused tools to help people reframe difficult experiences and set short-term goals. These methods are used to clarify values, improve communication, and address issues such as codependency, caregiver stress, and problems around money and career.

Outside work she enjoys travel, volunteering, board games, and time with her Shichon dog, Ozzie, who may sometimes be present during sessions as she adjusts to recent personal loss. Her approach is straightforward and action-oriented, aimed at helping adults manage stressful life situations.
