Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Sheila integrates several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each client's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current connections and can be useful for relationship issues, intimacy-related concerns, and feelings of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients feel accepted as they explore identity, self-esteem, and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sheila works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with licensed professionals. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time conversations similar to in-person work, while live chat and text-based messaging can provide alternative ways to process thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations.
