About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem difficulties.

Sheila focuses on practical, conversational therapy. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice patterns that keep problems repeating and try small changes that actually fit daily life. She uses clear tools to manage strong feelings, reduce reactivity, and rebuild trust in relationships where that is needed.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test alternative ways of thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy adds focus on values and taking committed action when emotions feel overwhelming. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early bonds shape current reactions.

Sheila also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centered work to prioritize the person's experience in the room. That means listening for the emotions under the behavior and naming what comes up without judgment. Together, therapist and client set clear, practical goals and track whether strategies are making life easier.

People often come to Sheila for help with anger that surfaces at work, in intimate relationships, or around caregiving and family stress. She encourages testing small, doable changes and checking results, rather than promising a quick fix. To begin, clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Sheila Uses Therapy Methods Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them. It focuses on values and small, committed actions that reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thinking and behavior patterns that keep anger and anxiety active by testing new responses and building practical skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationship patterns and early bonds shape reactions today, and it supports learning different ways to connect and respond.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Sheila works with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan if something is not working. The emphasis is on practical steps and on checking whether strategies reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or caregiving days are easier to manage. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work for remote meetings in ways that focus on skill practice, emotional awareness, and real-world experiments.
