Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, my name is Sheila Flipse. My passion is to come along side individuals who are hurting and struggling and walk with them through their journey to health and wholeness in a kind and compassionate manner. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in the state of Nevada, and a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York. I am also a national certified counselor.
Born in Liverpool, England I moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada as a child. I moved the United States to attend college and graduate school. In 2000 I became an American citizen. My areas of specialty include grief and loss, depression, anxiety and stress. While I was a college professor, I developed a class entitled, Death and Dying that has proved helpful to many people over the last few years. I love to help people build a healthy self concept and develop confidence. I have over 30 years of counseling experience.
My professional life has included working with the homeless, elderly, prison, college and military populations. I have lots of experience with relationship and marital concerns. In my spare time I enjoy traveling (62 countries so far!), having fun with my Shichon, Ozzie, playing board games and volunteering for community activities.
My approach is very much cognitive behavioral therapy with motivational interviewing techniques. Together we work to find out what is working in the client’s life and develop those skills and techniques. Then I work at helping the client become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking patterns so that they can begin to view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in more effective ways.
I offer video chat, phone calls or live text chat. My calendar is available for you to schedule appointments with me. I do ask that if you schedule an appointment with me, that you keep the appointment. By canceling, it may create unavailability for someone who really needs to chat. As a recent widow, it may be necessary for my dog Ozzie to be present during our counseling sessions as he is adjusting to his loss as well.
It would be my honor to work with you.

Many people wonder whether remote counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most individuals.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that best fits their life, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This convenience makes it easier to maintain regular sessions even with busy schedules or travel.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, the combination of professional training and flexible access makes online therapy a practical and effective path toward addressing everyday mental health concerns.
