About Sheila
Sheila Vaz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and motivation concerns. Sheila emphasizes each person's existing strengths and supports practical steps toward change.
Sheila starts by listening to a person's story and noticing what already works. Sessions focus on clear, achievable goals and building skills to handle hard moments. She uses straightforward tools and conversations to increase confidence and reduce overwhelm.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral ideas. That means Sheila centers the client's perspective while introducing ways to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She explains techniques in simple terms and practices them together with the client during sessions.
People often seek her help for sleep and rest concerns, self-esteem struggles, grief, relationship stress, and life transitions. Sheila also supports those facing caregiving strain, burnout, postpartum mood changes, and process addictions like gambling or exercise where they cause problems.
Sheila aims for a collaborative, down-to-earth style. She invites questions, checks in about progress, and adjusts the work as needed. The focus is on practical changes a person can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.
How Sheila blends client-centered care and CBT online
Sheila uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person's story and strengths, offering empathy and support while the person sets the pace. This approach helps people feel heard and clearer about what they want to change.She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, mood issues, sleep habits, and behaviors people want to change by teaching practical exercises and small experiments to try between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. Sheila works with clients to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what is not.
