Sheila Cano

Sheila Cano is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) working in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addictions in clear, practical ways.

She uses mindfulness-based methods to help people notice what matters most in the moment. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral tools to build useful skills for everyday life. Sessions emphasize simple practices and doable steps rather than jargon.

Sheila spends time listening first, then shaping a plan that fits each person. She addresses issues like low self-esteem, difficulty sleeping, anger, and relationship or family tensions with direct, respectful conversation. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical strategies to try between sessions.

She has 12 years of experience as a clinician and keeps focus on real-life change. She works with concerns including grief, career stress, compassion fatigue, and isolation or loneliness, and offers help with attachment-related patterns such as abandonment or codependency.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. To get started, users follow the site’s matching process and schedule a time that works for them.

How Mindfulness and ACT Translate to Online Work

Sheila uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, practicing short attention exercises and breathing techniques that can be used during daily routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her approach and focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while accepting difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sheila will listen to each person’s goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. Together they adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t possible. It can also let people try breathing or grounding practices in the moment and bring real-life situations into the conversation for immediate feedback.
