About Sheila
Dr. Sheila Willis is a Georgia-licensed clinical social worker with 32 years of experience. She combines a faith-informed outlook with practical, down-to-earth support.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and changes that come with major life transitions. Her style is respectful and compassionate. She listens first and tailors conversations to each person's needs.
Sessions focus on building motivation, improving self-esteem, and finding steps that feel doable in daily life.
Background and approach
Many people come for help when anger feels out of control or when grief, guilt, or shame make it hard to move forward. She also works with caregivers coping with long-term stress and with people dealing with emptiness, forgiveness, or questions about life purpose. The work often blends steady listening with practical suggestions to try between sessions.
Dr. Willis uses client-centered methods to keep the person's goals central and motivational interviewing to build willingness for change. That combination supports people who want clearer communication, stronger boundaries, or renewed confidence.
She offers sessions online by video, phone, chat, or messaging to fit different schedules. Her approach aims to make progress feel manageable and to help people take the next practical step toward a calmer, more balanced life.

How her approaches fit online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience without judgment and building the sessions around their goals. It helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to talk through stress, grief, anger, or questions about purpose.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost readiness for change. The therapist asks open questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps the person find their own reasons to try different behaviors or habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Willis uses these methods as tools and will help decide what fits best based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration makes it easier to pick practical next steps that feel realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues during conversation, while phone calls need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, writing through thoughts, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
