Remote sessions with client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods
Sherrida uses client-centered therapy online to create a collaborative environment in which a person’s priorities and experiences guide the pace and focus of work. This approach centers the client’s voice, encourages exploration of values and relationships, and supports development of self-directed goals. It is described here to clarify the therapeutic stance rather than to promise particular results.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to introduce concrete strategies for managing stress, anxiety, negative self-talk and specific patterns that interfere with daily functioning. When appropriate, brief treatment techniques and selective elements of psychoanalytic thought are woven into sessions to address deeper patterns or to accelerate progress toward clear goals. Together these methods can suit people who want both empathic listening and structured skill-building.
Sherrida offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for ongoing work. Those communication options are available so that clients can choose the format that best fits their needs and circumstances.
