01About Sheilla
Sheilla Brunelus offers a calm, direct approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or wounds from past trauma. She focuses on building confidence and clearer communication so clients can move toward goals that matter to them.
She is licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She uses practical, goal-oriented methods to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions often include concrete skills for managing anxiety, techniques to address mood shifts, and steps to rebuild self-esteem. Conversation is tailored to what each person needs rather than following a fixed script. When trauma or abuse is part of someone's story, Sheilla applies focused strategies to reduce distress and increase emotional safety over time.
She also uses tools that boost motivation and support steady progress when change feels hard. The pace is set by the client and guided by the issues brought to sessions. Clients can expect straightforward language and respectful listening.
Sheilla aims to create space for people to name what matters and try new ways of coping. Her style combines warmth with practical steps so goals feel achievable. She practices in Florida and conducts work in English.
People looking for help with anger, self-love, isolation, life purpose, or communication problems will find concrete strategies and a steady, encouraging approach.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth
Sheilla commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and process strong emotions and build healthier emotional responses. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify values and boost readiness for change when motivation feels stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheilla will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest methods that match those needs. The choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler audio check-in, live chat works for focused problem solving, and text messaging supports brief check-ins and reminders between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep working on goals even when schedules are tight.
