Sheera Scherman , LCSW

Sheera Scherman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of clinical psychotherapy experience and professional licensure in New York and Israel. She works with people who are motivated to increase self-awareness and take practical steps toward meaningful change in their lives.

Drawing on a client-centered approach, Sheera emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s unique story. She aims to help clients identify and connect with inner strengths and resources that support coping, decision making, and resilience. Her practice focuses on meeting people where they are and building on what already works for them.

Sheera believes that individuals are the experts of their own experience and that therapy is a cooperative process that honors personal insight and goals. She recognizes that beginning therapy can take courage and approaches the work with empathy, steadiness, and a focus on growth and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sheera uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where a person’s own goals and strengths guide the work. This approach supports people who want greater self-awareness, improved relationships, and more confidence in handling life changes.

Sheera also brings cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into sessions to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood challenges, and stress. CBT focuses on concrete tools and strategies that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

When trauma is a central concern, trauma-focused therapy offers targeted methods to process difficult experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. This approach is intended to help people regain a sense of safety and stability while building resilience.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Sheera works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals tailor methods over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and travel. These options increase accessibility for people in different locations, including international clients, and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible.
