Sheila Mansfield, LPC

Sheila Mansfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, self-esteem, parenting, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

Sheila uses a direct, respectful manner in sessions. She listens first, then helps people learn practical tools they can use between appointments. Conversations are focused and down-to-earth, with concrete steps to try at work, at home, or during stressful moments.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she pays attention to what matters to the person, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings, and sets short-term goals you can measure. Sessions often combine talking through situations with specific exercises to practice outside of therapy.

Sheila has worked in varied settings over two decades, including schools and community sites, which informs a flexible way of working. She can help with long-standing patterns like anger and impulsivity, and with life transitions such as separation, adoption-related concerns, or midlife changes.

Practical issues like workplace stress, caregiver burden, and communication problems are frequently addressed. Sheila asks about current struggles, clarifies immediate goals, and identifies small changes that can reduce tension and improve relationships over time.
