About Sheila

Sheila Flipse brings three decades of counseling experience to her practice, guiding people through grief, anxiety, stress, depression, and related life challenges with steady compassion.

Background and approach

A Nevada licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), she draws on a long history of clinical work that has included settings such as homelessness services, corrections, higher education, and military-related contexts.

Born in Liverpool and having lived in Canada and the United States, she combines broad life experience with professional training to support clients seeking greater emotional balance. Her style centers on practical skill building alongside exploration of thoughts and narratives that shape daily life.

Using cognitive behavioral techniques together with motivational interviewing and other evidence-informed approaches, she helps clients identify patterns that hinder well-being and practices that restore it. Sheila values collaboration and aims to foster a healthier self-concept, stronger coping strategies, and clearer responses to stressors.

She offers appointments via video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, and welcomes those ready to begin a process of change and healing.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Sheila commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep and attention-related concerns. Motivational interviewing emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental conversation to strengthen motivation for change and explore ambivalence around behaviors like addictions or lifestyle shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sheila frames that choice as a collaborative effort. Together with clients she assesses needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow ongoing work on skills, reflection, and problem-solving from many locations, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and adapt session formats as clients' lives change.
