Welcome to Better Help! I’m glad you’re ready to take the first step in making changes to improve your life! I would welcome the opportunity to accompany you on this journey.
My name is Sheila Freeman. I graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1997 and have worked in the mental health and substance abuse field for 22 years. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Kentucky. I have experience working with both adults and children (ages 6-18). To me, a collaborative, client-centered approach is the foundation of therapy. We work together to make the changes you want to make. I encourage you to voice the changes you want to see in your life and work to help you create a plan for making those changes a reality. The relationship between you and your therapist is an essential aspect of your therapy. I strive to create a safe, accepting environment for you to explore the issues affecting you, without bias or labels.
My style draws on perspectives and tools from a variety of different approaches to therapy. I have experience helping clients to deal with anxiety disorders, depression, grief, childhood abuse, addiction, relationship issues, parenting issues, and making life changes. The methods I employ include Client-Centered approaches, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic techniques and Mindfulness-based techniques. I would welcome the opportunity to join you as you make changes to improve your life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
