About Sheila
Sheila Krieger is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 10 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She works with concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation. Sheila also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues and those navigating life changes.
She uses a mix of practical, talk-based approaches to address current problems. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new ways to respond to difficult thoughts, and practicing small behavior changes between meetings. Sheila draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people act in line with their values despite uncomfortable feelings.
Attachment-based methods are used when relationship patterns or old hurts affect current connections. Emotionally-Focused and client-centered ideas guide conversations about feelings and the immediate work in session. This combination aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what is most useful for each person.
Sheila respects differences in identity and sexual orientation and lists LGBT concerns among her areas of work. She helps people with parenting stress, caregiver strain, and issues that overlap across mental health and life roles. Practical coaching around career and coping skills is available alongside therapy when helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Sheila draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood challenges and involves clear strategies and practice between sessions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation when a person wants to live more consistently with their values. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila discusses options with each person and makes collaborative choices based on needs, goals, and how a person prefers to work. That process guides which methods are emphasized in sessions. Confirm the current session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Pick the session style that best fits everyday life and discuss adjustments with the therapist during the first meeting.Areas of expertise
