About Sheila

Sheila Cano is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. Sheila speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

Sheila uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters to each person. She tailors each session and the treatment plan to a client's needs instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. That means sessions focus on immediate concerns like sleeping problems, anger, grief, or coping with life changes, and also on longer patterns such as attachment difficulties or impulsivity.

Her background includes 12 years of clinical experience working with issues related to addictions, relationship conflict, family problems, and compassion fatigue. Sheila draws on several approaches to guide work on habits, thoughts, and emotions, choosing techniques that fit the client's situation and goals. She emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions.

Sheila aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through painful feelings like guilt, shame, or isolation and build clearer ways to move forward. She encourages a collaborative process and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage. If you want a therapist who focuses on real-life problems and steady progress, she offers approachable, goal-focused care.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and when motivation feels low. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and trust, helping people change how they relate to others and manage closeness or distance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior for issues like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful and fits daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how therapy will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can guide skill practice between meetings and use online sessions to address practical problems, relationship patterns, and coping strategies in ways that fit your routine.
