About Sheila
Sheila Flipse is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who brings three decades of counseling experience to her work. She aims to walk alongside people who are hurting and struggling, meeting them with kindness and practical care. Sheila emphasizes helping people build a healthier self-concept and more confidence in daily life.
Sheila’s background includes work with homeless populations, older adults, people in prison, college students, and those connected to the military. She has taught a college course on death and dying and has developed experience in grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and stress. Her international life and long career shape a broad perspective on life transitions.
In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral approaches alongside motivational interviewing. That means clients look at what works in their lives, build on effective skills, and notice unhelpful thinking patterns that get in the way. The aim is clearer thinking and more effective responses to hard situations.
Sheila also draws on client-centered and narrative ideas, helping people tell their story and find practical steps forward. Her style tends to be straightforward and collaborative, focused on small, usable changes. She encourages honesty about setbacks and celebrates steady progress.
Outside of therapy she enjoys travel, time with her dog Ozzie, board games, and community volunteering. She is based in Nevada and holds licensure in Nevada and New York.
