About Sheila
Sheila Gault is a Licensed Professional Counselor with twenty years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Sheila encourages practical steps that fit daily life and honors each person’s strengths and goals.
Sheila uses an integrative approach that blends client-centered care with mindfulness and targeted skills work. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to identify patterns that cause distress.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior strategies help when emotions feel overwhelming or hard to manage. Her style is warm and accepting. Sessions focus on clear goals, real tools, and steady progress.
She aims to support emotional balance, better sleep, healthier relationships, and more confidence in daily choices. Sheila has worked in Michigan for two decades, helping people with trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. She also supports those facing aging and end-of-life concerns, body image and self-worth struggles, and career or life-purpose questions.
Practical techniques are combined with reflective conversation and mindfulness practice. Clients learn coping skills they can use between sessions. Sheila helps people build routines and small changes that reduce pressure and increase well-being.
If someone prefers remote options, Sheila offers several online formats to fit different needs. Her approach aims to meet people where they are and guide steady, manageable steps toward greater emotional strength.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's goals. It lets the therapist follow what matters most to the client and shape sessions around those priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It includes practical exercises and homework to change patterns related to anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving interactions. It offers step-by-step tools for calm breathing, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Sheila will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The first few sessions are often used to test options and pick what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or a low-bandwidth situation. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
