Sheera Scherman, LCSW

Sheera Scherman, LCSW, offers therapy for people facing major life transitions and persistent stress. She works with individuals who want more self-awareness and practical change. Her approach centers on the person in the room and on building strengths already present.

She values a client-centered way of working. That means she listens closely and follows each person's pace. She helps people connect with inner resources and make small, useful shifts. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that feel manageable.

Over 18 years she has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and career or relationship strain. She also addresses midlife crisis, parenting concerns, ADHD, grief, and workplace issues. Her practice includes concerns such as codependency, control issues, and coping with life changes.

She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events keep affecting daily life. The work is practical and collaborative, with attention to the client’s values and goals.

Sheera is licensed as a clinical social worker in New York. She offers sessions in English and Hebrew and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment based on availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist helps people notice strengths and make choices that feel right for them. This approach is useful for those who want a supportive space to sort through decisions and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses simple experiments and new habits to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which many people find helpful when timing and progress matter.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past events affect current reactions and relationships. Work here includes grounding techniques and gradual processing to reduce the ways trauma shows up day to day. This approach can help when memories or triggers interfere with functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sheera will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and will help decide which methods to try together. The plan can change as progress is made and priorities shift.

For online therapy logistics, confirm the session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or family. Some people also prefer sessions that do not require video for shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth needs.
