Sheila Flipse, LCPC, LMHC

Sheila Flipse is a licensed counselor with three decades of experience supporting people through grief, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Based in Nevada, she holds licensure as an LCPC - a licensed clinical professional counselor - and as an LMHC - a licensed mental health counselor in New York. Her work blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and solution-focused strategies to help clients build skills, shift unhelpful thinking, and strengthen self-confidence.

Born in Liverpool, England and raised in Toronto, Canada, she relocated to the United States to complete college and graduate school and became a U.S. citizen in 2000. While teaching at the college level she developed a course on Death and Dying, reflecting a longstanding interest in grief work. Her professional background includes counseling people who are homeless, older adults, individuals in correctional settings, college students, and military personnel, and she has worked extensively with couples and families.

Sheila has developed particular expertise in areas such as compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual issues, eating and sleep concerns, parenting and family conflict, career and financial stress, and issues relevant to LGBT and veteran communities. Outside of clinical work she has traveled widely, having visited 62 countries, enjoys time with her Shichon dog Ozzie, plays board games, and volunteers in community activities. Her approach emphasizes identifying what already works in a person's life, strengthening those strategies, and helping clients see and respond to challenges with clearer, more effective thinking.
