About Sheila
Sheila Gault is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, life changes, addictions, trauma, parenting challenges, anger, depression, and related concerns. Sheila speaks English and draws on long experience helping people manage difficult feelings and life events.
Sheila uses an integrative style that blends contemporary talk therapy with mindfulness and existential reflections. Sessions often focus on practical skills like emotion regulation, recognizing unhelpful thinking, and building coping routines. She also brings approaches that address meaning, values, and how daily choices connect to larger life goals.
Her work can include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies to change thought and behavior patterns, and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage intense emotions. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at usable steps people can try between sessions.
Sheila has spent two decades supporting adults through grief, trauma, caregiving stress, relationship problems, and work-related strain. She also addresses issues linked to aging, body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems, infidelity, and end-of-life concerns. The focus is on helping people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Practical matters such as scheduling and session format are arranged when someone starts the process. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Sheila commonly uses client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide conversations and build practical skills. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people clarify what matters to them, which can help with relationship or life-change questions. Cognitive behavioral work looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to reduce reactivity and change unhelpful patterns.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage intense emotions and improve distress tolerance. DBT skills are practical tools - like grounding, breathing, and emotion regulation exercises - that people can practice between sessions. Deciding which approaches to emphasize is a collaborative process; Sheila will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice mindfulness and DBT exercises in their everyday environment, then bring observations back to sessions for discussion.
