About Scott
Scott Herman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with three years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression and also addresses relationship and family concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Scott focuses on straightforward, practical work. He talks through day-to-day problems like worry, low mood, anger, and changes at work or home. He helps people who are navigating grief, trauma or abuse, and those managing attention differences such as ADHD.
He also supports concerns around intimacy, parenting, communication problems, and isolation or loneliness. Scott assists people facing midlife questions, money and financial stress, and workplace conflict. He offers help for social anxiety, phobias, obsessions and compulsive behaviors, and other mood-related difficulties.
Scott aims to shape conversations and the plan of care to the person in front of him. That means setting concrete goals and practical steps people can try between sessions. He describes the first step as often the hardest and encourages people to begin at a pace that feels manageable.
Background in overall social work practice informs his approach. He combines problem-focused discussion with support for coping skills, communication strategies, and planning for life transitions. People who want clear, usable strategies for everyday stress and relationship struggles may find this a pragmatic fit.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Scott draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavioral change. One common approach is cognitive-based work that looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and builds alternative ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This approach can help with worry, low mood, and repetitive negative thoughts.Another approach emphasizes behavioral skills training. That means identifying small, concrete actions to reduce avoidance, manage anger, or improve daily routines. It is useful for mood management, phobias, compulsive behaviors, and building steady habits.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then adapt which techniques to use. Clients and therapist decide together whether to focus first on coping skills, relationship work, or longer-term problem solving.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that works better for a given week. Ask about available session types when you schedule so the format matches daily life and needs.
