About Sheila

Sheila Stewart is an LPC in Missouri who brings 17 years of clinical experience to her work supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She favors a client-centered stance that emphasizes respect for each person’s goals and pace, and she blends structured techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness when helpful. Her background includes addressing complex family and attachment issues as well as mood concerns like bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.

Her practice approach aims to create an open, collaborative environment where clients can explore self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and career or life transitions. Sheila also works with problems connected to trauma and abuse, anger, codependency, blended family dynamics, fertility struggles, and forgiveness.

She offers practical strategies alongside reflective work, drawing on motivational interviewing and dialectical behavior therapy skills to support coping, communication, and behavioral change. Clients looking for a therapist experienced with a broad range of emotional and relational difficulties can expect a respectful, individualized process.

Sheila helps people clarify goals, build skills, and navigate change while honoring their values and personal strengths.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sheila commonly uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, approaches that translate well to online formats. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client needs most, helping people set their own goals and move at a comfortable pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be taught and practiced through video or messaging. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be introduced in sessions and reinforced between appointments.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Sheila works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She will help tailor techniques and pacing so therapy feels relevant and doable for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. These formats make it easier to keep consistent appointments, practice skills in real time, and stay connected during periods of change, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver evidence-informed interventions in ways that match a client’s routine and needs.
