About Sheera
Sheera Scherman, LCSW, works with people who are ready to understand themselves better and make real changes. She brings 18 years of psychotherapy experience and a practical, down-to-earth way of talking about problems. She encourages clients to notice the strengths they already have and to use those strengths to move forward.
Sheera follows a client-centered approach, which means she focuses on each person's goals and pace. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. For people who have been through trauma, she uses trauma-focused methods to reduce the hold past events have on daily life.
Her background includes practice in New York and experience across a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, parenting stress, workplace issues, and panic disorder and panic attacks. She speaks English and Hebrew and can work with international clients who connect from other places.
In sessions she aims for clear, plain conversation rather than jargon. Expect guidance on small steps you can try between visits, and time to reflect on what feels most useful. Sheera frames the work as a collaborative process where you set priorities and she helps you test practical strategies.
If you are ready to start, the typical next step is to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule. That beginning questionnaire helps connect you to a therapist and set the first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Sheera uses client-centered work to follow each person's priorities and pace, helping clients name what matters most and shape goals that feel realistic. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that can ease symptoms such as anxiety or panic attacks. Trauma-focused methods focus on reducing the way past events interfere with current life and can be added when trauma is part of the story.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sheera treats this as a conversation: she will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and together you will decide which techniques to try first. The work is collaborative and may shift as goals change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people connect across time zones, which is helpful for international clients. Practical details like scheduling, session length, and whether video or phone is offered should be confirmed when you set up the first appointment.
