01About Sheila
Sheila Flipse brings three decades of counseling experience to people facing hard life moments. She is an LCPC, which is the Nevada credential, and an LMHC in New York. Sheila helps clients who are dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and shifts in self-esteem.
She approaches work with kindness and steady presence. Sheila grew up in Liverpool, England, and lived in Toronto before moving to the United States for college and graduate school.
Background and approach
She became a U.S. citizen in 2000. Those life moves shaped her interest in immigration issues and in helping people through major transitions. Her professional background includes time working with people who have experienced homelessness, incarceration, college-related concerns, and military service.
Sheila also developed and taught a college course on death and dying, which informs her grief and end-of-life counseling focus. She enjoys helping people build confidence and a clearer self-concept. In sessions she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with motivational interviewing.
That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different ways of thinking, and build skills that are already working. Sheila aims for practical steps that people can use between sessions. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Sheila asks clients to keep scheduled appointments when possible. Outside work she enjoys travel, board games, and time with her dog Ozzie.

04Online support
Practical approaches for online counseling
Sheila commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice patterns of negative thinking and try different, more helpful ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress management. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s readiness to change and helps clarify goals and strengthen commitment to them. It can be useful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and building motivation for new habits.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sheila will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions match the person’s needs and pace. This collaborative process helps people try practical steps between visits and measure small changes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat or text messaging makes it easier to connect during busy days or to get short, focused support without a full session. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into different schedules.
