About Sheera
Sheera Scherman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people who want to understand their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships and who are ready to make changes. Her practice addresses mood problems, anxiety, addiction, parenting stress, and identity and relationship challenges.
She uses a client-centered stance to help people identify strengths they already have. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. She blends practical, skill-based work with space to talk through painful memories and current stresses.
Her background includes long-term psychotherapy with adults facing trauma, grief, and life transitions. She often helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with different responses. When appropriate, she brings in trauma-focused methods to address the impact of past abuse and loss.
Sessions also cover day-to-day problems like workplace stress, smoking or vaping cessation, and managing impulsivity. She supports people dealing with mood disorders, panic, and ADHD by organizing concrete strategies and behavioral experiments.
She speaks English and Hebrew and accepts international clients. She asks new clients to complete a brief questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The intake helps identify goals and practical first steps to work on together.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sheera uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice automatic thoughts and try new responses. CBT sessions often include goal setting, behavior experiments, and exercises to practice between meetings to reduce anxiety or change habits.She also uses a client-centered approach that focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. This helps build on existing strengths and clarify practical next steps. For clients with traumatic memories, trauma-focused methods are used to address how past events affect current reactions and routines.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then choose methods to try. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
If you plan to work online, confirm the available session formats before booking. The online option can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling and format preferences during the intake so sessions fit practical needs.
