Sheila Krieger, LPC

Sheila Krieger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and a wide range of emotional and relationship concerns. She offers a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to create a space where people feel heard and treated with sensitivity. Sheila frames therapy as a partnership and supports clients through change at their own pace.

She works with issues including trauma and abuse, addictions, depression, bipolar symptoms, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and questions around identity and LGBT matters are also within her scope. Sheila also addresses caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and difficulties tied to aging and blended family dynamics.

Her clinical approach draws on several practical methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals, real-life skills, and exploring patterns that keep problems stuck. Sheila tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method.

Clients can expect direct, everyday language and concrete steps to practice between sessions. She emphasizes building confidence, improving relationships, and finding workable ways to cope with life transitions. Sheila presents therapy as an active process where small changes lead to clearer choices.

With roughly ten years of experience, she combines clinical methods with a calm, person-centered stance. To begin, Sheila asks people to describe their priorities so sessions match what matters most to them.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and then testing new, more helpful ways of responding to problems. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and responding; it can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and communication struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will collaborate to identify which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means discussing what feels most useful and adjusting plans over time rather than committing to a single method from the start.

The original profile does not list explicit session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose settings that help them focus, avoid long commutes, and practice new skills in real-life environments. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and homework to work well in virtual sessions so progress continues between meetings.
