Sheila Krieger, LPC

Sheila Krieger is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, substance concerns, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She writes treatment plans to fit each person and aims to make therapy a practical step toward a more fulfilling life. Sheila emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.

She has around 10 years of clinical experience and practices in Michigan as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and parenting stress. Sheila also supports people dealing with career transitions, compassion fatigue, body image, and struggles around commitment and communication.

In sessions she uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. That means she helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and focus on what matters most to them. Conversations are shaped to fit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.

Sheila also works with topics that can be sensitive or stigmatized, such as kink and alternative sexual cultures, addiction, and grief around abandonment or blended family stress. She aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly about these issues without judgement.

People who choose her often want straightforward help with coping skills, clearer communication, and steady support while making life changes. To begin, a simple intake and brief plan set the direction for ongoing work together.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve day-to-day coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds to help people build safer, more reliable ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sheila works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Together they try out techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so the work feels relevant and doable.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into work or family routines, cut out travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also lets people use therapy while living outside Michigan, including international locations, subject to scheduling and licensing rules. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable in everyday life.
