How these approaches translate to online work
Sheila often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this is useful for anxiety, low mood, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to strengthen emotional connection and address relationship pain, helping partners and parents tune into feelings and respond differently to each other. The Gottman Method informs practical communication tools and routines that couples and co-parents can use to reduce conflict and increase support.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sheila discusses goals and preferences with each person and then suggests techniques to try together. She adapts her mix of methods based on what feels effective and what clients want to practice between sessions, so therapy stays collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people work face to face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when less bandwidth is available or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and travel while keeping a steady course of care.
