Online support
How her approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their feelings and change how they respond to them. It can be useful when strong emotions keep someone stuck or push others away.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building trust. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth and clearer decision making.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies for changing them. It often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherita will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques based on how someone responds and what feels most useful in sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer short, flexible check-ins and written reflections between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and help people continue work even when travel or timing would otherwise be a barrier.
