About Sherita
Sherita Dobbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Mississippi who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and other life changes.
Background and approach
With 18 years of clinical experience, she brings an informed, compassionate perspective to complex emotional and behavioral concerns, including hospice and end-of-life counseling and issues related to aging and geriatric care. Her style blends warmth and empathy with direct, honest feedback, aiming to meet clients where they are while honoring dignity and respect.
Sherita uses an eclectic mix of approaches tailored to each person, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered methods, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. She has worked across mental health, inpatient, outpatient, school, and home hospice settings and offers individual, group, and family therapy formats.
Clients can expect collaborative work focused on practical skills, emotional processing, and improving communication and coping. Sherita emphasizes sensitivity to each person’s needs and partners with clients to foster growth, manage symptoms, and navigate transitions with greater resilience.
Online Approaches That Support Practical Change
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and a collaborative relationship where the therapist reflects and supports the client’s own capacity for growth and self-understanding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sherita works with clients to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors the mix of CBT, client-centered methods, DBT skills, or other techniques accordingly so the plan fits each person’s situation and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skills practice for remote formats to help clients progress toward their goals in accessible, practical ways.
