About Sheila
Sheila Cano is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with 12 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, sleep problems, anger, career issues, and major life changes.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to address concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to notice unhelpful thoughts and shift daily habits. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed methods when those fit the client's goals.
Sessions focus on clear steps and skills people can try between meetings. Sheila helps identify patterns that maintain distress, then practices alternative responses together. She can guide work on boundaries, communication problems, codependency, and issues tied to abandonment or attachment history.
For people struggling with substance use or impulsivity, she integrates addiction-focused strategies alongside mood and behavior work. Work around forgiveness, guilt, shame, and relationship infidelity emphasizes rebuilding practical routines and choices that support recovery.
She offers help in English and Spanish. Prospective clients in California are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to follow the site's process to schedule a first appointment.
How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online
Sheila uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change daily habits that keep problems going. CBT chores are usually specific - noticing a pattern, testing a belief, and trying a new behavior - which adapts well to short exercises between sessions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action even when difficult feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from close relationships and teaches ways to improve communication and emotional regulation in current relationships.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Sheila will review goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to emphasize based on progress and comfort.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weeknight or a work break, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical scheduling needs and what kinds of between-session exercises will fit into everyday life.
