How Sheila’s approaches fit online therapy
This therapist draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices to help people change unhelpful thoughts and reduce stress. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping skills. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to calm the body and interrupt ruminative thinking, useful for sleep problems and emotional regulation. She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method for relationship work when appropriate. EFT looks at emotions behind interactions to improve connection, and Gottman ideas give practical ways to improve communication and manage conflict in relationships. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps. Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the original profile does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around busy days, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Many people find that practical CBT exercises and mindfulness practices translate well to remote sessions, and relationship-focused tools can be usefully coached over video or phone depending on what is offered.Areas of expertise
