Online support
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify goals and values so change feels meaningful.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to practice new thinking and behaviors between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It is useful for strong emotions, relationship struggles, and impulsive reactions; skills can be practiced during and after sessions.
Sherita treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will review goals and preferences with each person and suggest methods that fit their situation. Together they try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time to match progress and needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people interact face to face, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messages support brief updates or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping continuity of care.
