Sheila Gault, LPC

Sheila Gault is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, life changes, addictions, trauma and other concerns. Sheila also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports people dealing with caregiver stress, intimacy issues, and career concerns.

She uses a direct, person-focused style in sessions. Conversations aim to identify patterns that leave someone always putting others first. She helps people notice how they react in relationships, practice clearer boundaries, and try new ways of coping that reduce overwhelm.

Her approach combines client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and existential ideas are woven in to help people name values and make choices that feel authentic. Sessions often include simple exercises to test new behaviors between meetings.

Sheila draws on two decades of work with adults around trauma, domestic violence, grief, and adjustment problems. She keeps the conversation straightforward and goal-oriented so people can make small changes that add up.

People describe working on clearer communication, managing anxiety, and improving how they respond to others’ demands. If someone is living around another person’s drinking or emotional crises, Sheila helps them clarify what they can control and what they cannot. The emphasis is on practical steps rather than quick fixes.
