    About Sheilla

    Sheilla Brunelus is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, or depression. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help clients build motivation and confidence. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

    She brings seven years of clinical experience to her work and adapts sessions to the needs of each client. She uses methods such as Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy guide her work when emotional patterns and past hurts are central concerns. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, reachable goals.

    In a typical session she listens carefully, helps set small goals, and offers tools to practice between meetings. She tailors language and strategies to match each client’s pace and preferences. This practical approach is aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

    She is licensed as an LMHC in Florida and holds the LPC credential for Georgia. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats available.

  2. How her approaches work for online therapy

    Sheilla commonly blends Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make meaningful changes. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out personal reasons for change and resolving mixed feelings about moving forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people spot patterns and practice new ways of coping.

    She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotional connection and patterns are part of the issue. This approach helps people name and work through strong emotions so they cause less disruption day to day. Together these methods give practical steps and room to process feelings, depending on what a person needs.

    Finding the right fit is a shared process. Sheilla will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. That conversation guides whether to prioritize motivation, skills practice, or emotional processing in ongoing sessions.

    The original biography did not list specific online or in-person options, so confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives - they can be easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals adapt techniques so clients can practice tools between meetings and keep progress moving.
