About Sheila
Sheila Vaz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Sheila focuses on practical steps people can use to reduce distress and move forward.
She sees clients as the experts on their own lives and builds from what already works for them. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Sheila listens for strengths and then helps people try small changes that can make a day-to-day difference.
Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, and difficulty managing anger. She also supports people dealing with career challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue from caregiving or first-responder roles.
Sheila uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s perspective and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Those approaches are used to develop concrete coping skills, stress-management techniques, and ways to respond differently in heated moments.
People who prefer straightforward, practical sessions tend to feel comfortable with Sheila’s style. Her work aims to translate insight into action so clients can try new ways of handling conflict, frustration, and ongoing stress.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs to sort through feelings about relationships, loss, or stressful life events.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical tools such as behavior experiments, coping skills, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety or manage urges related to addiction and anger.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sheila will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a check-in on a workday, or avoid travel time. Therapists in general can adapt exercises, skills practice, and planning to an online setting so clients can put techniques to use between sessions.
