How Sheila Uses Different Approaches Online

Sheila often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by teaching skills to change patterns that cause distress.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. DBT-based skills can be useful when strong emotions or impulsive reactions are getting in the way of daily life.

Finding the right fit is a team effort. Sheila works with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and comfort level. Together they try approaches, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays relevant and doable.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
