About Sheila
Sheila Hodge-Windover is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and issues around intimacy and parenting. Sheila also helps people dealing with addiction, trauma, ADHD, sleep and eating concerns, and life transitions.
She uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. Clients can expect clear feedback, goal-focused conversations, and tools they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She draws on several methods to match the work to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with emotionally focused ways of addressing connection. Sheila also uses mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy when these fit the goals.
The Gottman Method informs her work with couples and with communication issues. Sheila has three years of clinical experience and holds an LMFT credential. She conducts therapy in English and accepts clients from outside the U.S. when logistics allow.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She recommends starting by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and session format.
Approaches that translate to online care
Sheila commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills for anxiety, mood, sleep, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) appears in her work to help people understand and shift patterns in close relationships, improving how partners or individuals relate and respond to each other. Mindfulness therapy is another tool she offers to build awareness, reduce reactivity, and manage stress in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach usually happens together. Sheila will talk about what feels most important, try methods that fit a client’s goals, and adjust the plan over time. She aims to make choices in collaboration with the person seeking help rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy with Sheila is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship work and longer check-ins. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t practical. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone needs more frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules.
