About Sheila

Sheila Hodge-Windover is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, and trauma. She supports those facing parenting strain, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, anger, bipolar challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Sheila also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. Sheila uses straightforward feedback and practical steps in sessions.

She draws on several therapy methods to match each person's needs rather than using a single fixed style. Conversations tend to focus on clear goals and small changes that make daily life easier.

Her approach blends talk-based work with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Gottman Method ideas, mindfulness, and hypnotherapy. She aims to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and build on strengths they already have.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person can manage. Sheila has three years of clinical experience as an LMFT and works with a wide range of interpersonal and individual concerns.

She offers in-person care in Oklahoma and also meets people online. Sessions may be scheduled to fit work or family routines.

To begin, a person picks the Start Therapy button, fills out a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a time that fits. Sheila welcomes international clients who want to work in English and looks for practical ways to help people move forward.

Approaches to relationship and emotional work online

Sheila uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on understanding how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and then practicing different responses to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and expressing core emotions in relationships so people can reconnect and reduce conflict. She also brings Gottman Method concepts into couples work to highlight patterns and teach practical skills for communication and repair.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sheila will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as work unfolds so the approach fits the person’s life and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are good for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when scheduling makes short messages a better fit. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping consistent progress.
