About Sheila

Sheila Vaz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting, anger, career transitions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other areas.

Her work also addresses attachment issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, end-of-life and hospice concerns, obsessions and compulsions, postpartum mood challenges, process addictions, social anxiety, and related struggles. Vaz adopts a collaborative, strengths-based stance and holds a client-centered view that the person in therapy is the expert on their own life.

She combines that perspective with practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills. The approach is encouraging and empowering, aimed at helping clients clarify goals, increase resilience, and take concrete steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental atmosphere where motivation and small changes are acknowledged as central to progress. Sheila frames therapy as a partnership that honors each client's strengths while offering structured strategies when needed.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting each person’s own goals. This approach prioritizes the client’s perspective and strengths, helping individuals feel heard and empowered to explore change at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult habits.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to understand needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt methods over time so the plan feels useful and attainable. This partnership helps balance emotional support with skill-building in ways that reflect each person’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose formats that fit work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, schedule around busy days, and access licensed professionals from different locations within Texas. The variety of formats supports both real-time conversations and ongoing check-ins to sustain progress between sessions.
