Sheila George, LCSW

Sheila George is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with 12 years of experience. She focuses on common life pressures like stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and grief. Sheila also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and mood-related challenges such as bipolar disorder.

She uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort practical problems and overwhelming feelings. Sessions often include listening, feedback, and collaborative planning rather than technical jargon. She practices methods drawn from client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

In a typical session Sheila helps people identify immediate coping skills and longer-term behavior changes. She talks through patterns in thinking and action and helps set small, achievable goals. She also works with issues tied to life transitions, adoption and foster care histories, aging concerns, and caregiving at end of life.

Her background includes work with trauma and with veterans as well as civilians who have experienced PTSD and addiction. Sheila brings a practical focus to anger, shame, forgiveness, and attachment concerns. She supports people managing legal or family system stresses such as divorce, blended family problems, and domestic violence aftermath.

She holds to straightforward communication and active listening. New clients are asked to describe what’s troubling them and what they want to change. From there Sheila and the person plan steps that fit everyday life and responsibilities.
