About Sheila
Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She brings a calm, respectful presence and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. Sheila uses practical, straightforward talk to help people clarify what matters to them.
She helps clients build skills for coping with anxiety, managing strong emotions, and addressing relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize real steps that can be practiced between meetings. With ten years of experience, Sheila draws on several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She leans on methods that address thoughts and behavior, emotional patterns, and the ways past attachment shapes current relationships.
Treatment plans are individualized and adjusted as progress is made. Sheila has worked with people dealing with trauma, addiction, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and parenting stress. She also supports those navigating career issues, caregiving strain, body image, and concerns related to sexual identity and kink culture.
The focus is on clear goals and usable tools rather than labels. She works in Michigan and meets with people in English. International clients can also connect.
The first step is straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits your calendar.

How Sheila’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts while focusing on actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and anger when someone wants clearer day-to-day direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing intense emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people shift how they relate to others and regulate emotions in relationships.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Sheila will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video lets people read facial cues and practice interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
