About Sheilla
Sheilla Brunelus is a licensed clinician who works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings a calm, respectful presence and focuses on helping clients find clearer direction and greater confidence. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people make small, manageable changes.
She tailors sessions to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She focuses on building motivation and strengthening coping skills.
Background and approach
When trauma is part of the picture, she combines careful listening with approaches designed to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience and professional practice in Florida. She holds the designation Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC.
Those credentials guide her clinical work and ethical practice. In sessions she aims to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and to try new ways of handling difficult feelings. Conversations include identifying goals, testing small changes, and reviewing what helps most.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a supportive tone throughout the process. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort. Clients set the pace and priorities while she offers tools and strategies from evidence-based approaches.
The focus is on practical progress and building skills that fit daily life.
Approaches that translate to online work
Sheilla often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and usually involves setting clear goals and homework between sessions.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people understand and name strong emotions, strengthen how they cope with feelings, and build more helpful emotional responses. This can be useful when past hurt or relationship patterns affect daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. If one method isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan and checks in about progress together.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person meetings, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing tracking and quick reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use the formats that best support practice between sessions.
