About Sherida
Sherida Newmister is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Indiana with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and major life changes. She also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, career strain, and bipolar mood concerns.
Her style is practical and direct. She listens to what is happening now and helps people set clear goals. Sessions focus on using strengths to change thoughts, feelings, and everyday behaviors that get in the way.
Sherida uses several evidence-based approaches without relying on jargon. That can include cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and take action, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions.
She also integrates client-centered principles to keep the work focused on the person’s priorities. For people with trauma-related symptoms, she may use EMDR elements where appropriate and agreed upon together.
Her background includes long-term work with adults and adolescents around mood disorders, panic, PTSD, and substance use issues. She brings years of hands-on practice helping clients handle overwhelming feelings and improve everyday functioning.
To begin, the profile asks prospective clients to use the site’s matching process and schedule an initial session. That first meeting is used to clarify goals, choose approaches that fit, and plan next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking values-based action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by teaching practical ways to move forward despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and offers concrete skills to change them, which is useful for panic, mood concerns, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used for trauma-related symptoms by processing distressing memories in a structured way when both therapist and client agree to that work.Finding the best approach is treated as a collaborative process. Sherida will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, experiences, and preferences. Early sessions focus on identifying priorities and deciding which techniques to use going forward.
The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer barriers to attending from different locations. The site’s booking flow asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session, where format options should be confirmed. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a lunch break, avoid travel, or use a shorter phone or video session when that suits the day.
