About Sheila

Sheila Hodge-Windover is an Oklahoma Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, and other family-related issues. Sheila also lists work with trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, ADHD, and caregiver stress among her areas of focus.

Her approach is practical and direct. Sessions focus on addressing specific problems and building everyday skills. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and change them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method inform how she looks at relationship moments and communication.

Sheila describes offering feedback and support that aims to move people forward. She helps clients identify strengths and small steps they can take between sessions. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit for people who are open to that method.

She has academic background in health psychology and behavioral science and brings experience from community roles earlier in her career. Her training and prior work are referenced as part of how she frames clinical thinking and goals. Sessions are in English and she accepts international clients; confirm session formats when scheduling.

For someone juggling parenting, a strained partner relationship, or the grief of life change, her style is straightforward. The focus is on clear tools, improved communication, and practical coping strategies to help people manage daily pressures.

How sessions work

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Sheila draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress that shows up at home. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at couple and relationship moments, helping people name feelings and change interaction patterns.

These methods are explained and tried together. Sheila treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with a client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to prioritize and revisit choices as work progresses.

The therapist's biography does not list which online formats she uses, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows flexible scheduling for someone balancing parenting, work, or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, EFT, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
