About Sheila
Sheila Cano is a California licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people regain balance in everyday life. She supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief, sleeping problems, and the burnout that comes from caring for others.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals rather than following one fixed plan. Sheila listens without judgment and works at a practical pace that people can use between appointments.
Her approach draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and build workable habits. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and how past connections affect present life. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is also part of her toolkit for processing difficult memories when that fits a person’s needs.
Sheila brings 12 years of clinical experience in California to her work. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy accessible and clear for people from different backgrounds. She asks questions, listens, and helps craft steps people can try between sessions.
Starting therapy with her means setting realistic goals and checking progress regularly. She invites people to take small, practical steps toward better sleep, improved coping, clearer boundaries, and steadier mood.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values, while teaching ways to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. This can help with anxiety, low mood, and sleep by shifting attention to useful daily habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and experiments, which can reduce worry, improve routines, and support better sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping; it helps people notice patterns that affect intimacy, trust, and emotional safety.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process means the plan can change if something isn't working or if new concerns come up.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or offering sessions without being on camera when that helps people focus. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep progress steady while clients balance work, family, and rest routines.
