About Sheila
Sheila Gault is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, grief, relationship concerns, depression, and life changes. Sheila focuses on practical ways to cope and build steadier day-to-day routines.
She uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and elements of dialectical behavior work. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and small skills that can reduce distress and improve functioning. The description of approaches comes from her stated practice style and interests.
Her background includes long-term counseling with adults around trauma, abuse, domestic violence, and bereavement. Sheila also lists work related to addiction, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, body image, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns. She notes attention to life transitions such as divorce, career changes, and end-of-life matters.
In session she emphasizes self-awareness, authentic living, and developing practical coping strategies. The focus is on clear, steady steps rather than abstract promises. Clients can expect a mix of listening, skill teaching, and guided reflection rooted in the approaches she names.

How Sheila’s approaches translate to online work
Sheila names client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, and dialectical behavior ideas as part of her approach. Client-centered methods focus on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors and teach practical skills to reduce worry and improve sleep. Dialectical behavior ideas add specific skills for emotion regulation and handling intense feelings.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Sheila will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and day-to-day needs. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.
