Sheila Krieger

Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She works with individuals dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, and concerns about self-esteem and motivation. Her straightforward approach aims to make the first step feel manageable and supported.

Sheila brings ten years of experience as a Michigan LPC. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and focuses on practical skills people can use between meetings. Conversations are framed around what matters most to the client, whether that's coping with a change at work, improving relationships, or managing mood swings.

Her background includes methods that encourage present-moment awareness and clearer thinking. Sheila uses mindfulness-based exercises alongside acceptance and cognitive strategies to help people notice patterns and respond differently. She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to match the person's readiness. Sheila explains options in plain language and builds a plan that fits daily life rather than creating extra stress. People can expect concrete steps, guided practices, and time to reflect on progress.

Sheila values respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. She welcomes people who want to work on intimacy, identity and LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, career decisions, and complicated grief or anger. For those unsure how to begin, she helps clarify goals and next steps before committing to a plan.

How Sheila’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sheila commonly uses mindfulness-based practices to help people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away, which can reduce immediate reactivity and build steadier focus. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another part of her work and emphasizes clarifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking small actions toward a meaningful life. Attachment-based ideas help by looking at how early relationship experiences influence current patterns and how to create healthier connections today.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. Sheila will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different exercises, and then she tailors the plan. The work evolves over time rather than following a fixed script.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since they are not specified in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or let someone choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver mindfulness exercises, guided skill practice, and values-based planning in ways that fit everyday routines.
