About Sheila
Dr. Sheila Willis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Georgia with 32 years of professional experience. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and the practice does not accept international clients.
Sheila emphasizes practical conversation and steady support. She focuses on helping people manage strong feelings like grief, anger, and shame. She also addresses caregiver strain, communication problems, and questions about life purpose.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. That means conversations begin with the client's goals and move at a comfortable pace. Motivational Interviewing is part of the work when people want to find motivation for change or to make difficult decisions.
Expect clear, everyday language in sessions. Topics are broken into manageable steps. Work typically covers coping skills, strategies for handling anxiety and stress, and ways to rebuild confidence after loss or setbacks.
Sheila uses her years of experience to help people sort priorities and set realistic next steps. She asks about what is working and what feels stuck, then focuses on small changes clients can try between meetings. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully to what matters most to the person and following their lead. In practice this means online sessions begin with the client's immediate concerns and shape goals from there, which helps with stress, self-esteem, and coping with loss.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change. Online conversations can use short focused questions and reflective listening to help people clarify next steps and stay committed to them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will discuss options and decide together what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision is checked and adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find online meetings fit into workdays more easily, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel. These practical benefits can make it easier to follow through on plans made in therapy.
