About Sherrita
Sherrita Ried is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients feel heard and understood. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making conversations feel safe and practical for everyday life.
Sherrita trained in counseling and has six years of professional experience as an LCMHC. She moved into counseling after earlier work in nursing, which shaped her view that emotional needs often go unspoken.
Background and approach
That background informs how she listens and responds to physical and emotional concerns together. In sessions she relies on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build steadier ways of coping.
Expect short, clear tools you can use between meetings as well as time to talk things through. Sherrita works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting stress, and career-related strain. She also addresses issues such as mood concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
She is based in North Carolina and conducts work in English. People who prefer practical steps paired with empathic listening tend to do well with her approach. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is reviewed along the way.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your day
Client-centered therapy emphasizes meeting people where they are and listening without judgment. It focuses on building a trusting relationship and helping clients find their own solutions, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship strain, and self-esteem issues.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It uses step-by-step tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used when stress feels overwhelming and when steadying day-to-day routines matters.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and adjust strategies based on what is helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so care matches their needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session feel, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging lets clients share thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily rhythms.
