About Sheila
Sheila Mansfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 22 years of experience. She helps people who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, career questions, and ADHD-related issues.
She uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods to address everyday problems. Sessions look at unhelpful thoughts and habits and try alternative responses. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and solution-focused strategies so people can identify practical changes and test them between sessions.
Her background includes work in many settings, including schools, court-related programs, and military bases. That breadth means she is used to meeting people in different circumstances and adapting the work to what they need. She has spent more than two decades helping people manage life changes and conflict.
In sessions she aims to be direct and polite while listening closely. She helps clients set clear goals and uses concrete exercises to track progress. This includes talking through communication patterns, coping plans for stress, and step-by-step tasks to change behavior.
Sheila asks clients to try skill-based practices between meetings and to review what worked and what did not. This keeps sessions focused and practical. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How Sheila’s approaches translate to online work
Sheila combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused ideas to make online sessions practical. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses with small experiments to reduce distress or change habits. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client’s goals guide each session. Solution-focused methods concentrate on short-term, concrete steps and measurable progress.Choosing the right mix of these methods is part of the work. Sheila will collaborate with each client to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and preference. The process is iterative and focused on what helps most for the client’s current problems.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss available session options during the initial matching steps so appointments align with daily routines and goals.
