About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and life changes. She uses a straightforward, respectful style and aims to make conversations feel grounded and useful. Sheila emphasizes practical steps that fit each person’s daily life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

Sheila draws on several therapy approaches to shape sessions to each person’s needs. She may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused work can guide conversations about closeness and communication.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and tailors the plan accordingly. She focuses on building small, doable changes rather than quick fixes. Clients practice skills between visits and review what helped and what did not.

She has about 10 years of professional experience and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. Her background includes supporting people through trauma, relationship struggles, parenting stress, career transitions, and mood concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English, and she is open to working with international clients. Before booking, people should confirm the current session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit their needs.

How Sheila’s Approaches Translate Online

Sheila often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. It can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sheila will talk through goals and try strategies collaboratively. She adjusts methods based on what helps and what doesn’t, so clients play an active role in choosing what feels useful.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the therapist’s available formats before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in their everyday environment and maintain continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus to match each person’s schedule and goals.
