About Sheila
Sheila Flipse is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 30 years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and issues like codependency and caregiver stress. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear thinking rather than labels or promises of quick fixes.
Sheila began life in Liverpool, England, spent part of her childhood in Toronto, Canada, and later moved to the United States for college and graduate school. She became a U.S. citizen in 2000 and has worked in a variety of settings. Her background includes work with people who are homeless, older adults, those involved in the criminal justice system, college students, and military-connected individuals.
Her day-to-day style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with motivational interviewing. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and develops skills that work in real life. Conversations aim to identify what is already helping and build on those strengths.
Sheila has a long interest in grief and end-of-life matters and created a college course called Death and Dying while she was a professor. She also focuses on building self-esteem, managing compassion fatigue, coping with life changes, and practical communication skills.
Outside of work she enjoys travel, having visited many countries, and spends time with her Shichon dog, Ozzie. As a recent widow, she notes Ozzie may sometimes be present during sessions while he adjusts.

How sessions work
How Sheila uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to change patterns that create more stress or anxiety. It is useful for managing worry, low mood, or unhelpful thinking.Finding the right method is part of the work together. Sheila will talk with the client about their needs and goals and decide which approaches to use. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
The biography lists video chat, phone calls, and live text chat as offered formats, so confirm those options when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and text chat can be useful for brief updates or when writing feels more comfortable. Ask about the session types available before scheduling so the format fits everyday life.
