About Sheila
Sheila Flipse is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 30 years of counseling experience. She works with adults who are dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and changes in life circumstances. Sheila also helps people struggling with self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and career or financial stress.
Sheila trained and worked in a variety of settings including work with people who were homeless, elderly, incarcerated, in college, and in the military. She developed and taught a college course on death and dying, and she has practical experience supporting hospice and end-of-life concerns. Her background includes national counselor certification as part of her credential set.
Her typical session is straightforward and skills-based. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot and change negative thinking patterns. She combines that with motivational interviewing to encourage small, achievable steps toward better coping and clearer choices.
In sessions Sheila and the client identify what is already working, build useful habits, and practice different ways to respond to stress or anger. She asks clients to keep scheduled appointments when possible and notes occasional real-life interruptions; as a recent widow she may have her dog Ozzie present during sessions while he adjusts to loss.

How Sheila blends practical approaches for online work
Sheila uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thinking and try different responses. CBT is useful for problems like anxiety, depression, anger, sleep and self-esteem by teaching straightforward skills and changing patterns of thought and behavior.She also uses motivational interviewing to support gradual change. That approach focuses on the client’s own reasons for change and helps set small, realistic goals. Together these methods aim to strengthen what is already working and build steps toward clearer choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sheila will discuss your goals and preferences and adjust methods as you go. She looks for practical techniques that can be tried between sessions and revisited based on what helps most.
The original biography lists video chat, phone calls and live text chat as session options. If you need a specific format, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so sessions can be added around work or caregiving commitments.
