About Sheila

Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and offers steady support while clients work on goals like boosting self-esteem, managing addictions, or improving relationships. Her style is respectful and compassionate, with a focus on practical steps people can use between sessions.

She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That may include Trauma-Focused Therapy to address past harms, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action, or cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sheila shapes conversations and plans around each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

With ten years of experience and an LPC credential, she draws on work with a wide range of concerns. Sheila supports people dealing with depression, bipolar challenges, ADHD, grief, career stress, intimacy questions, and issues related to body image and eating. She also helps those facing caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and commitment or communication problems.

Sessions are offered in English and Sheila accepts international clients. She invites people to take small steps toward change and offers clear, achievable tools for everyday life. Her aim is to help clients feel more capable and more in control of their next choices.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Sheila emphasizes collaboration so people feel heard and involved in planning their own progress.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on gently addressing memories and reactions linked to past harm. It helps people reduce the hold those experiences have on daily life and build new ways to feel safer and more in control.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It mixes acceptance of hard feelings with practical steps so behavior reflects what a person cares about.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. By understanding these patterns, people can try new ways of relating and reduce repeated cycles of hurt or avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can change as progress is made and new needs arise.

Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and fit work or caregiving demands. It can also allow shorter check-ins when life is busy or avoid the time needed to travel to an office. Many people find it simpler to maintain steady progress when sessions fit into their everyday routines.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
