Sheba Shiver

Sheba Shiver is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people find their voice and set clearer boundaries in relationships. She approaches work with quiet curiosity and practical steps, so conversations feel direct and useful. She aims to build trust quickly and collaborate on goals that matter to each person.

She begins by noticing how someone relates in the therapy space and uses that as a starting point for change. Sessions focus on learning to state needs, name limits, and practice new ways of speaking up. She balances gentle reflection with straightforward skills you can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on mindfulness practices to help calm worry, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful patterns, and narrative work to reframe personal stories. She also brings existential questions into the room when people want to make meaning after big changes. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want clearer commitment to new habits.

Sheba has worked in the field for 15 years and brings that experience to a variety of concerns. Typical areas include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting strain, anger, relationship issues, career decisions, and low self-esteem. She works with each person at the pace they choose.

She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. To begin, visitors follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Mindfulness and CBT Work in Online Therapy

Sheba uses mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and bring gentler attention to strong emotions, which can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety and grief. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on clear links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then try methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is seen.

Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer logistics around travel. Online therapy can make shorter check-ins possible when a quick touchpoint helps keep progress on track. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what will work for your schedule and needs.
