About Sheila
Sheila Brittain is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who centers her work on relationships and the inner life. She uses a collaborative, relational approach to help people facing stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Sheila writes plainly and meets people where they are, focusing on practical changes that make daily life feel more manageable.
She brings six years as a practicing LMFT and more than 30 years of prior social services experience to her work. That background informs how she listens for patterns tied to family of origin, communication problems, and recurring relationship dynamics. Sessions typically look at how beliefs, perceptions, and feelings shape everyday choices.
Sheila draws on attachment-based ideas to examine connection and trust in relationships. She also uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices appear when people want concrete steps and skills for coping.
Sheila often supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, caregiver stress, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also helps those facing isolation, control issues, codependency, and forgiveness work. Her goal is to help each person discover new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Her style is curious, warm, and direct. She aims to create a space where people can explore what matters, find practical strategies, and move toward clearer, healthier patterns of living. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.
