Using CBT Online to Address Everyday Challenges
Dr. Sherman frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies. CBT emphasizes skill-building exercises, behavioral experiments, and structured strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.She also applies CBT-informed techniques when addressing parenting concerns and coping with chronic medical conditions, focusing on actionable steps parents and individuals can use to manage disruptive behaviors, pain-related distress, and daily functioning. These approaches typically involve collaborative goal setting, homework between sessions, and gradual exposure or behavioral activation tailored to each person's situation.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She works collaboratively with clients to select and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences so therapy is a personalized process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy with Dr. Sherman is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from home. These flexible formats support ongoing access to a licensed professional and allow clients to practice skills and check in between meetings in ways that match their lifestyle.
