Sheila Gault , LPC

Sheila Gault is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and life changes. She focuses on helping people manage depression, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her approach aims to help people find practical ways to feel steadier and more in control.

Sheila draws on nearly 20 years of experience supporting adults through transitions and loss. She uses a mix of client-centered listening, cognitive strategies, mindfulness, and dialectical tools to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions emphasize simple skills that a person can use between meetings.

She values clear, life-affirming language and works to promote empowerment and authentic living. Conversations can include exploring values, building coping skills for anger or stress, and addressing sleep or caregiver strain. She also offers support for concerns such as codependency, body image, and compassion fatigue.

Her work integrates modern psychotherapy with mindful practices and reflective exploration. That may include concrete exercises, short behavioral experiments, and awareness practices to reduce reactivity. The focus is on practical steps that match a person’s goals and daily life.

Sheila provides sessions in English via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them rather than imposing a preset plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and balanced thinking. DBT skills can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping with urges or addictive behaviors. These methods are described and tried collaboratively so a person and the therapist can decide what fits best for the person’s goals and life circumstances.

Sheila will work together with clients to identify which approaches feel most helpful. That process may include trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan based on results and preferences. The therapist treats the choice of method as a shared decision, with steady review of progress.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily routines.
