About Sheila
Sheila Flipse is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem concerns, and lists many related areas such as relationship problems, trauma, addiction, and caregiver stress.
Sheila draws on a background that includes work with people who have been homeless, older adults, people in prison, college students, and members of the military. She also taught a college course called Death and Dying and has used that background to support hospice and end-of-life counseling. Her life experience includes international travel and volunteer work, and she sometimes has her dog, Ozzie, present during sessions while he adjusts to recent loss.
Her approach centers on cognitive behavioral therapy combined with motivational interviewing. She pays attention to what already helps a person and builds on those strengths. She also helps people notice negative or inaccurate thinking and practice different responses to stressful situations.
Sessions may include video chat, phone calls, or live text chat; prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Sheila asks that scheduled appointments be kept when possible, since late cancellations can affect others looking for support.
She works in English and is based in Nevada. She is not offering services to international clients at this time. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Sheila combines cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in her practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different responses so stressful situations feel more manageable; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify what matters to them and strengthen their own reasons for making change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will choose or adapt methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative conversation helps set the pace and decide what to try next.
The original biography lists video chat, phone calls, and live text chat as session options. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. They also let people choose whether to use video, audio, or text depending on what feels most practical for that appointment.
