Sheila Hodge-Windover, LMFT

Sheila Hodge-Windover is an Oklahoma-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction. She also supports those facing parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, anger, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and other life changes. Sheila offers practical, straightforward help so clients can make real changes in daily life.

Sheila’s style centers on clear feedback and hands-on strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices depending on the person’s needs. Sessions focus on skills to shift thoughts and habits, repair connection, and develop coping routines.

Her work blends short-term problem solving with deeper relationship work. That can mean setting small behavior goals one week and practicing communication skills the next. Sheila aims to meet people where they are and build plans that fit their routines and goals.

She has three years of professional experience and holds the LMFT credential. She connects therapeutic goals to everyday life so progress feels practical and measurable. Sheila accepts English-speaking clients and sees people in Oklahoma as well as international clients when appropriate.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance, goal-focused sessions, and a mix of talk-based and skills practice. She uses a collaborative approach that balances insight with steps people can use between sessions.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions use talk work and practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and impulsive behavior.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and connection. In remote sessions this approach helps people name feelings, practice expressing needs, and rebuild closeness in relationships through guided conversation and exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean mixing CBT skill work with EFT for relationship repair or adding mindfulness exercises for stress management.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice communication and read nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework, or ongoing coaching between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep regular momentum toward goals.
