About Sheera
Sheera Scherman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people make real changes in their lives. She works with clients who want more self-awareness and practical ways to handle stress, work issues, mood changes, and relationship concerns. Sheera speaks English and Hebrew and practices in New York, bringing 18 years of experience to her work.
Sheera follows a client-centered approach, which means she starts by listening and building on each person’s strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop different behaviors. For people who have been through trauma, she applies trauma-focused methods to reduce symptoms and increase coping skills.
In sessions she aims for clear goals and small, manageable steps. That might look like setting short-term tasks between meetings, trying new ways to respond to stress, or practicing skills for handling cravings and impulsivity. Sheera also supports people navigating career strain, parenting stress, grief, or identity and sexuality questions.
Sheera’s experience includes addictions, anxiety and panic, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and workplace issues. She also addresses codependency, control issues, forgiveness, and smoking or vaping cessation. Her work includes helping people manage compassion fatigue and burnout.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Sheera acknowledges that courage. She aims to create a cooperative process where clients set the pace and make choices about goals and techniques.
How Sheera’s approaches translate to online work
Sheera uses a client-centered approach that focuses on each person’s strengths and choices, helping people set goals and decide pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and replaces them with more helpful thinking and actions. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the impact of past traumatic events and building coping strategies to handle triggers and reminders.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sheera will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend methods that fit. The plan can change as progress is made, and clients take an active role in deciding next steps.
Many people find online therapy easier to fit into daily life because it can reduce travel and allow sessions around work or caregiving obligations. Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered, since the biography did not specify formats. Online sessions can support steady skill practice, short check-ins when needed, and regular progress reviews to keep work and wellbeing goals on track.
