01About Sheila
Sheila Cuomo brings more than 20 years of clinical experience to her Maryland practice. She holds an MD and is an LCPC, and she focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders. Her style is warm and faith-sensitive, with attention to each person's story and values.
She helps people who struggle with panic attacks, social anxiety, or feelings of isolation. She also supports those dealing with grief, bipolar mood episodes, and effects of past abuse.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to fit each person’s needs and comfort level. Her work emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional processing. That can mean learning grounding techniques for panic, building routines for mood stability, or talking through painful memories at a pace that feels manageable.
Goals are concrete and revisited as progress is made. Sheila describes therapy as a collaborative journey. She listens first, then suggests approaches based on what the person says they want to change.
Faith considerations are respected when they matter to the client. Over two decades she has developed a straightforward, empathetic approach. People meet here for honest conversation, skill-building, and steady support while working toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning.

04Online support
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Sheila uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and panic, such as breathing exercises, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. Another approach centers on mood management for depression and bipolar symptoms, using structured routines, activity scheduling, and problem-solving to stabilize daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila collaborates with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals, values, and pace. She will explain options, try techniques together, and adjust plans based on what the person finds helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging support briefer check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
