About Sheila

Sheila Flipse is a licensed clinician with three decades of counseling experience. She holds LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials and practices from Nevada. Sheila focuses on walking with people who are hurting, offering steady support and practical help as they work toward feeling better.

She emphasizes plain, direct work in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking and build everyday skills. That often means learning small, doable habits and trying them between visits.

Her background includes work with homeless populations, older adults, people in prison, college students, and military communities. She also taught a college course on Death and Dying, and brings that experience to grief and end-of-life conversations. Sheila has significant experience with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship concerns, and caregiver strain.

Her style blends cognitive behavioral work with motivational interviewing. She helps clients spot negative thinking, test different viewpoints, and choose practical steps that fit their life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Sheila offers video chat, phone calls, and live text chat as ways to meet. Because she is a recent widow, her dog Ozzie may sometimes be present during sessions as he adjusts to loss. She hopes to support people as they rebuild confidence, process big losses, and find clearer ways forward.

How Sheila Uses Talk Therapy Online

Sheila works primarily with cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting; it is helpful for depression, anxiety, and stress. Motivational interviewing uses gentle, goal-focused conversations to boost motivation for change and to set practical next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sheila will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That way the plan evolves from collaboration rather than being fixed from the start.

Her biography lists video chat, phone calls, and live text chat as meeting options, so please confirm the session formats you prefer before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use audio-only or text when that better suits their day-to-day life. These choices help sessions feel workable alongside school, work, caregiving, and travel.
