About Sheera
Sheera Scherman is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience. She works with people who want more awareness and practical changes in their daily lives.

Sheera uses a client-centered stance that treats each person as the expert on their life. She helps people notice strengths they already have and build on them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than jargon or long lectures. Sheera also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. That approach is useful for panic, depression, anxiety, and impulse control challenges.
When trauma or past abuse is part of the picture, she integrates trauma-focused methods in a paced, respectful way. Sheera aims to make therapy practical and relevant. Parents who are overwhelmed, professionals facing burnout, and people working through addiction or compulsive behaviors will find straightforward tools to try between sessions.
She speaks English and Hebrew and practices in New York. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps clients set realistic goals, test small changes, and track what works.
Many people come away feeling more able to manage daily demands and make clearer choices about the future.
Approaches and how online therapy fits your life
Sheera uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding each person's goals, and building on their existing strengths. This approach is helpful when someone needs a supportive space to figure out priorities and practical next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can be especially useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, ADHD-related organization challenges, and impulse control work.
Trauma-focused therapy is used when past harm affects current functioning. It emphasizes pacing, safety, and gradual processing so people can reduce distress and regain control over daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and teaching of skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, coaching-style support, or times when typing fits a schedule better. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while trying different approaches to see what helps the most.
