About Sheila
Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addiction. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sheila approaches the work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion to make the first sessions feel manageable.
Sheila draws on ten years of experience and adapts each conversation to the person in front of her. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and build committed action. Emotion-focused and attachment-based ideas help when relationships and closeness are part of the concern.
Sheila helps people dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, and motivation problems. She also supports people working through codependency, communication problems, and intimacy-related issues. For those juggling caregiving, career change, or compassion fatigue, she offers practical ways to reduce overwhelm and set clearer boundaries.
When someone contacts Sheila, the plan is individualized. She talks through priorities, sets small goals, and adjusts pace as needed. That approach helps people move from feeling stuck to having concrete steps they can try between sessions.
Sheila works from Michigan and offers services in English. Her practice welcomes discussions about a wide range of concerns including LGBT issues, ADHD, eating and body image struggles, bipolar and mood concerns, and commitment or control struggles.
