About Sheila

Sheila Mansfield is an LPC with 22 years of clinical experience who centers her work on collaborative, evidence-informed care. She brings a practical, person-focused style to sessions, helping clients develop tools for stress management, emotional regulation, and improved relationships.

Background and approach

Her approach adapts to each person's needs, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, and solution-focused strategies to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Sheila has worked across diverse settings over more than two decades, which has shaped her flexible, individualized way of practicing.

She partners with clients to identify priorities and build skills for communication, impulse control, career challenges, parenting, and coping with major changes. In session she aims to be direct yet warm, providing practical interventions alongside supportive exploration to help people move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and building a trusting therapeutic partnership, helping people explore feelings and priorities in a pace that feels right for them. This approach is useful when someone needs validation, clearer self-understanding, or support through major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and mood. CBT is often applied for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related organizational or impulse challenges, and stress management by teaching concrete skills and practiceable techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to determine which combination of client-centered support, CBT, or solution-focused interventions best matches their needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats can facilitate regular skill practice, shorter check-ins, and varied ways of communicating so that therapy can be tailored to a client's lifestyle and accessibility needs.
