Sheila Gault, LPC

Sheila Gault, LPC welcomes people who are facing big life changes and emotional strain. She speaks directly and kindly, and helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or rethinking major life choices. Sheila aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find practical ways forward.

Sheila brings 20 years of experience working with adults on issues such as depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, caregiver stress, and career shifts. She combines contemporary counseling methods with mindful practices and thoughtful reflection. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping skills, and self-awareness so progress feels tangible.

Her approach centers on listening with respect and responding in ways that fit each person. Sheila uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s pace, and she draws on cognitive behavior techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Sheila also attends to meaning and values, helping people consider purpose and authentic living during midlife transitions and other shifts. She describes her work as holistic and practical, blending psychological tools with reflective practices to support change.

Sessions are offered in English and are organized to match each person’s needs. People who want to start are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Sheila often uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s experience and pace, focusing on listening, empathy, and collaborative goal setting to guide each session. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters most to them.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches concrete skills to change thinking patterns and responses. Dialectical behavior therapy ideas are used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sheila will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and making it easier to schedule regular check-ins. Because specific session formats are not listed in her biography, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins, flexible timing around work or caregiving, and continued momentum during life transitions without requiring extra travel.
