Background and approach
That background means she is familiar with crisis situations, grief at the end of life, and long-term mood challenges such as bipolar disorder and depression. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, relationship and family strains, and compassion fatigue. Sherita describes her counseling style as client-centered and respectful.
She listens closely, offers honest feedback, and helps people find strategies that fit their lives. Therapy sessions often combine talk therapy with concrete tools to manage symptoms and improve communication. Her methods draw on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, emotionally-focused work, and hypnotherapy where appropriate.
Those approaches are used in a flexible way to address symptoms, behavior patterns, and emotional connection. The goal is to help people make small changes that add up to better coping and clearer choices. Sherita completed a Master of Science in Social Work with a clinical focus and holds the LCSW credential.
She continues to expand her training and applies lessons from many settings to support each person’s healing and practical progress.
How Sherita’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where the person’s goals guide the work. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people choose their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can help people with mood instability and intense reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sherita collaborates with each person to try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they review what works, adjust techniques, and set small goals so progress is clear and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work and visual cues. Phone sessions fit brief check-ins or lower-bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, share concerns in the moment, or have shorter interactions that still move work forward. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules change.
