About Sheila
Sheila George is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and other life transitions.
She uses straightforward listening and active communication to help people talk through what is causing distress. Sessions focus on practical steps and coping strategies rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect a direct, respectful approach that centers their goals.
Her background includes work with people facing serious mental health challenges and those coping with post-traumatic stress. She has experience supporting veterans and civilians with trauma and with people managing substance use concerns. This practical experience informs how she approaches safety, stability, and day-to-day coping.
Sheila draws on several clinical methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build new ways of handling strong feelings. She brings Client-Centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing into sessions as appropriate.
People who come for help with anger often leave with clearer ways to recognize triggers, slow escalation, and communicate needs without heating up a situation. Her goal is to help clients develop tools they can use in real life to manage frustration, resentment, and repeated outbursts.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sheila commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says, helping them clarify values and goals. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people test real-life changes and reduce unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings like anger become overwhelming. DBT supplies concrete tools for spotting escalation and choosing different responses in heated moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. That choice can shift as progress is made or new issues come up.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Ask about the available session types when you schedule so you can pick what works best for your routine.
