About Sheila Flipse

Hi, my name is Sheila Flipse. My passion is to come along side individuals who are hurting and struggling and walk with them through their journey to health and wholeness in a kind and compassionate manner. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in the state of Nevada, and a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York. I am also a national certified counselor.

Born in Liverpool, England I moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada as a child. I moved the United States to attend college and graduate school. In 2000 I became an American citizen. My areas of specialty include grief and loss, depression, anxiety and stress. While I was a college professor, I developed a class entitled, Death and Dying that has proved helpful to many people over the last few years. I love to help people build a healthy self concept and develop confidence. I have over 30 years of counseling experience.
My professional life has included working with the homeless, elderly, prison, college and military populations. I have lots of experience with relationship and marital concerns. In my spare time I enjoy traveling (62 countries so far!), having fun with my Shichon, Ozzie, playing board games and volunteering for community activities.

My approach is very much cognitive behavioral therapy with motivational interviewing techniques. Together we work to find out what is working in the client’s life and develop those skills and techniques. Then I work at helping the client become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking patterns so that they can begin to view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in more effective ways.

I offer video chat, phone calls or live text chat. My calendar is available for you to schedule appointments with me. I do ask that if you schedule an appointment with me, that you keep the appointment. By canceling, it may create unavailability for someone who really needs to chat. As a recent widow, it may be necessary for my dog Ozzie to be present during our counseling sessions as he is adjusting to his loss as well.

It would be my honor to work with you.

“Sheila is very understanding, quick, it is a real pleasure talking to her and knowing she is very experienced, is very beneficial to me.”

“Because I am 60 I am pleased Sheila is born around the same time as me for at that stage of life we don't complain so much we revisit decisions made and why or how even if deceiving in the past they start to show us why it's essential to be truthful to oneself to understand that happiness is when you see yourself in each person you cross path with. Sheila is the perfect extension of my own brain and feminine side within the man I've become.”

“Great, caring therapist. Has helped immensely!”

“She is the nicest and caring person !!”

“I’m thankful I found Sheila Flipse. She has given me some really helpful tips. I try to review them in my head whenever I am feeling stressed.”

“I am 61 and have been in therapy with Sheila for over one year; she is perfect. I couldn't change to another therapist because she knows me and I know her. I got out of depression in about 5 months of weekly sessions and journaling. I became myself again after an unfortunate breakup with someone I thought would be my life partner. Sheila says what she means and is a caring human with a wonderful sense of humor.”

“Sheila is the ultimate best friend in my life now.”

“Sheila is great. She pays attention very well, takes notes and shows that she is invested to helping you. She is kind and caring and speaks in a way that’s calming and soothing.<br /> <br /> If you’re open to it, she sends you worksheets relevant to your needs. They have been so helpful. Sheila is awesome!!!!!”

“Sheila has helped me so much through a difficult time in my life. She has an innate sense of what I am feeling, yet allows me to work through things on my own with her guidance and advice. She's friendly, approachable, and relatable. I was hesitant to go with Better Help for many months, but I'm so glad I did!”

“I will never change to another therapist, Sheila is my person and the work we do together has become very personal and evolving.”
