Sheera Scherman

Sheera Scherman, LCSW, works with people who want clearer direction during hard life transitions. She helps clients who are motivated to increase self-awareness and make changes that improve daily life. Her approach centers on listening and building on each person’s strengths to move forward.

Sheera uses a client-centered style that focuses on understanding the person's story first. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and make practical behavior changes. For people with traumatic histories she incorporates trauma-focused methods to reduce distress and build coping skills.

With 18 years of clinical experience, Sheera brings steady support to complex concerns like addiction, mood disorders, anxiety, and grief. She also works with issues such as codependency, control struggles, divorce and separation, parenting challenges, and workplace stress. She helps people address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns that get in the way of living well.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Sheera emphasizes skills you can use between meetings, such as thought tracking, grounding techniques, and small behavior experiments. She values practical steps alongside deeper reflection so progress is both felt and sustained.

Sheera is licensed as a LCSW in New York and speaks English and Hebrew. She offers a calm, respectful space for people ready to take the next step and figure out what change looks like for them.

How Sheera’s approaches translate to online work

Sheera uses client-centered therapy to prioritize what matters to each person, focusing sessions on the client’s goals and strengths. That approach helps shape practical plans that fit someone’s life and current challenges.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete tools for changing patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and behavior changes like smoking cessation. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past traumatic events are central to a person’s distress; it includes techniques to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheera will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide what methods to try. The process is collaborative and may combine elements of different approaches as progress unfolds.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible timing for appointments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone conversations when that better suits their day, while others choose longer video meetings for deeper work. The therapist will help match format and pacing to practical life demands.
