About Sheryl

Sheryl Roach is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate trauma and abuse, address career challenges, and cope with significant life transitions.

Background and approach

Sheryl aims to establish a welcoming atmosphere where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions openly and without judgment. Her approach balances practical strategies and personal insight, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques.

This combination supports clients in developing tools to reduce distress, improve coping, and identify consistent patterns that affect daily functioning. Sheryl values collaboration and views change as an ongoing process that unfolds at each client’s pace.

Clients who seek support for compassion fatigue, attachment or caregiver stress, communication and control issues, or concerns like isolation and midlife re-evaluation may find her approach helpful. She also offers guidance around pregnancy and childbirth, post-traumatic stress, self-love, women's concerns, and workplace difficulties.

Sheryl works with each person to create goals and practical steps tailored to their needs.

Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by breaking problems into manageable steps, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, improve coping with stress, and support clearer decision-making. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, teaching skills to lessen reactivity and ground attention during stressful or overwhelming moments.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic collaboration. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, evaluate what methods resonate, and adapt techniques to fit individual needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved in shaping the path forward rather than following a fixed protocol.

Online sessions provide flexibility to connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to continue care from different locations within New Jersey. These options can increase consistency and make it simpler to practice new skills between meetings, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor pace and format to each person's life and commitments.
