About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the challenges that come with life transitions.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she works with individuals facing depression, bipolar mood concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, and issues related to self-esteem, motivation, and intimacy. Her practice also includes support for ADHD and a wide range of relational and identity topics including LGBT concerns, communication struggles, and blended-family dynamics.

Sheila blends evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-informed and client-centered approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She describes her style as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate, shaping conversations and plans around what a client values and wants to accomplish.

Sheila accepts international clients and offers multiple session formats, making it easier for people with varied schedules or locations to connect. She encourages taking that first step toward greater well-being and partners collaboratively with clients to build practical coping skills and clearer pathways forward.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Sheila uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping strategies; this approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action. In addition, attachment-based ideas inform her work to explore relational patterns and strengthen emotional connections where that matters to a client.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sheila tailors interventions to each person's goals, needs, and preferences, and she will help clients experiment with strategies and adjust the plan as therapy progresses to find what fits best.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience and accessibility. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care amid busy schedules or geographical distance, and they allow clients to use the formats that feel most comfortable while working on stress, mood, ADHD-related challenges, relationship patterns, and other concerns.
