About Sheila
Sheila Garrigan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, family concerns, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.
She helps people break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps. Conversations focus on practical coping strategies and clearer thinking about difficult situations. She pays attention to how relationships and daily routines affect mood and stress.
Her work emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques and building resilience. That means using methods backed by research to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. The therapist and client plan goals together and adjust methods as needed.
Sheila often works with people facing transitions such as job changes, caregiving shifts, or changing family roles. She also supports those coping with ongoing anxiety or low mood and people who want to strengthen self-worth. The approach includes talking through current problems and trying skills in everyday life.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Clients can expect a mix of listening, feedback, and hands-on strategies to try between meetings. To start, the site matching process is used to schedule a first appointment and to confirm current session options.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Sheila draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One approach focuses on skill-building for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, behavioral strategies, and stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance. This helps people who notice daily anxiety or avoidance getting in the way of work or relationships.Another common approach targets low mood and self-esteem by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and replacing them with more balanced thinking. This method includes short exercises and doable tasks between meetings to help shift routine behaviors and improve mood.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients play an active role in deciding which methods to try and when to change course.
The site matching process is used to schedule and confirm session arrangements. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be run. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work and family responsibilities.
