About Sheila
Sheila Cano is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC in California with 12 years of practice. She helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, anger, grief, sleep problems, and life changes. Sheila speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on a range of personal and career concerns.
Sheila frames sessions around what the person needs right now. She uses practical conversation and evidence-based methods to address habits, thoughts, and emotional reactions. Expect clear goals, gentle challenge, and focus on skills you can use between sessions.
Her background includes work with attachment problems, codependency, impulsivity, and issues tied to substance use. She also supports people coping with relationship difficulties, betrayal, isolation, guilt, and forgiveness questions. When addictive behavior or domestic violence appear in the story, she integrates those concerns into the plan.
Sheila draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR. Those approaches inform how she helps people reduce reactivity, change unhelpful thinking, and process difficult memories.
Sessions are conversational and task-focused. Sheila will help set achievable steps, practice new responses, and build routines that support calmer reactions. If you want straightforward work on anger, stress, or substance concerns, she offers practical tools and a steady clinician perspective.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used during online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anger that comes from getting caught up in hot thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses. CBT gives concrete exercises for reducing reactivity and changing behavior patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That planning is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or not needing travel time to the office. Different approaches translate well to remote sessions: ACT exercises, CBT homework, and EMDR-style processing can be adapted for phone or video when those formats are available. Ask during booking which formats are offered so you can pick what fits your schedule and needs.
