Remote sessions that match therapeutic goals
Shelia integrates several evidence-informed methods to shape remote work in a way that fits each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior and builds practical strategies for addressing day-to-day difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages exploration of personal values and committed action, helping people move toward what matters to them even when emotions are challenging. Client-Centered Therapy offers a collaborative, non-directive space in which the person's own perspective guides pacing and priorities.
This combination can suit individuals navigating relationship conflicts, trauma recovery, intimacy and self-esteem concerns, identity questions, career transitions, or addiction-related issues. Sessions focus on practical skills, meaning-making, and self-directed goals so the person and therapist work together to shape the agenda.
Remote appointments are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people connect and continue therapeutic work from Illinois.
