About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and related life changes.

Sheila focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions tend to look at patterns that keep problems repeating and small changes that can ease daily life. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance work to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-informed ideas and emotionally focused techniques guide conversations about relationships and closeness.

Her approach centers on clear goals and collaborative planning. Clients and Sheila map out priorities together and try interventions that fit each person’s situation. Progress is checked regularly so plans can be adjusted when something is not helping.

Sheila also addresses concerns that often overlap with core issues, such as body image, caregiving stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and challenges tied to neurodiversity or sexual subcultures. She includes coaching-style supports when people want practical steps for work, parenting, or recovery from addictive behaviors.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. For people wondering if this approach fits, Sheila recommends a first meeting to see how goals and methods feel in practice.

How sessions work

How Sheila’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that align with personal values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, avoidance, and decisions about what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape trust and closeness. It helps people understand why certain relationship behaviors repeat and offers ways to try different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behavior, which can help with mood, anxiety, and coping skills.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans together so the approach fits the client’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a quicker check-in when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework to work over video or phone, and they can suggest shorter or more frequent check-ins when that helps daily life.
