How She Uses Therapy Methods Online

Sheilla uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize patterns of thinking that keep them stuck and to practice different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and managing anger through step-by-step skill building. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with emotions so they can respond differently in high-stress moments; it is useful when strong feelings feel overwhelming.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and track progress. Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a team effort. Sheilla will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust plans based on needs, goals, and preferences.
