About Sheera
Sheera Scherman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 18 years of psychotherapy experience. She works with people who want more self-awareness and who are ready to change patterns that cause distress. Her practice addresses mood concerns, anxiety, trauma, addictions, parenting and life transitions among other shared struggles.
She uses a client-centered stance and focuses on what each person brings to the room. Sessions often begin by identifying current problems and personal strengths. She helps people notice automatic thoughts and behaviors, then experiment with small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting present life. She combines these approaches with supportive conversations that stress practical steps. That means homework between sessions and skills practice in everyday situations when helpful.
Sheera has particular experience with grief, relationship issues, workplace stress, burnout and compassion fatigue. She also addresses ADHD, eating concerns, bipolar and mood disorders, panic symptoms, codependency and coping with separation or divorce. She frames these topics in straightforward language and in terms of daily routines and responsibilities.
Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew and she accepts international clients. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching process and schedule an initial session through the online options button. The cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
She brings together client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused tools in ways that work over distance. Client-Centered Therapy here means listening for each person’s priorities and building sessions around what matters day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the thoughts and routines that keep problems going and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to affect mood, relationships or stress levels; the work focuses on reducing the ways trauma shows up in current life rather than on labeling. Choosing which approach to emphasize is collaborative. She will review your goals and preferences and adjust methods as you go so the plan fits your needs and schedule.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and homework that fit your routine during the first visit.
