Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Sheila often draws on Existential Therapy to help people examine purpose, values, and the hard questions life brings. This approach focuses on meaning and choice and can be useful for clients facing life transitions, grief, or questions about identity.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities. That means listening closely, offering acceptance, and helping clients find their own answers rather than prescribing solutions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, shows up when practical tools are needed to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT techniques are used for anxiety, sleep problems, mood shifts, and building concrete coping skills.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. This makes the process flexible and tailored to individual needs.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer different practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work from different locations.
