About Sheila

Sheila Hodge-Windover is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, low self-esteem, and addictions. She supports people facing parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, anger, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Sheila works with concerns tied to intimacy, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue as well. Sheila aims for clear, practical sessions that focus on what feels most urgent to the client.

She uses short-term goals and hands-on strategies. Sessions combine talking, skill practice, and gentle reflection so people leave with usable steps they can try between meetings.

Her background includes work in relationship-focused roles and clinical leadership. Sheila brings three years of counseling experience and holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential.

She practices in Oklahoma and offers services to people beyond the state as well. She uses several approaches to match each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioral methods, emotionally focused work, Gottman techniques, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness.

These tools are mixed depending on the problem and the client’s preferences. She often focuses on communication, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding trust or routine.

People who meet with Sheila can expect collaborative planning, straightforward feedback, and an emphasis on building real-life skills. She helps people name the next manageable step and checks progress as therapy continues.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Sheila uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions by giving clear tools and homework. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings and attachment patterns in relationships; it helps people understand and shift the ways they connect and respond to one another. The Gottman Method offers practical skills for improving communication and resolving conflict between partners, using exercises that build trust and repair patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest one or a mix of methods. Together they set priorities and try strategies to see what fits best, adjusting as progress is tracked.

Online therapy with Sheila is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a short check-in or work when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or reminders between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity through life transitions.
