About Sheera
Sheera Scherman is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 18 years of clinical practice supporting people who want to increase self-awareness and make meaningful changes.
Background and approach
She approaches therapy with respect for each person's lived experience, helping clients identify strengths and inner resources that can be used to navigate stress, mood and relationship challenges. Her work often addresses a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, grief, and issues around self-esteem and career direction.
Sheera draws on client-centered principles to create a collaborative working relationship and integrates practical, skills-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful. She brings experience with trauma-focused work as well, attending to the ways past events influence present coping and symptom patterns.
Fluent in English and Hebrew, she provides therapy from New York and accepts international clients, offering several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change
Sheera uses client-centered therapy to build a collaborative relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and building on existing strengths to promote growth and resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key tool she integrates, offering concrete strategies to identify and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused therapy is applied when past events continue to affect present functioning, with attention to processing traumatic memories and developing coping skills to reduce symptom impact.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sheera works together with each person to determine what methods best match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That collaborative planning includes checking in about what feels most useful and adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.
Online sessions make it practical to receive care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide scheduling flexibility and the ability to maintain continuity of care across distances, allowing clients to access licensed professionals and preserve momentum even when life circumstances change.
