About Sheera
Sheera Scherman, LCSW, helps people who are ready to make change and gain more self-awareness. She offers straightforward support for parents and others facing stress, anxiety, grief, mood shifts, addiction, and relationship strain. Her tone is practical and compassionate for people beginning therapy or returning after a break.
Sheera emphasizes a client-centered way of working. That means she listens first, follows what matters to the client, and helps people connect with strengths they already have.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings, not on jargon or long theory explanations. She has 18 years of experience and brings that background to problem-solving around workplace pressure, coping with life transitions, and managing mood or attention concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, forgiveness, and issues like smoking or vaping cessation.
Her practical methods include approaches grounded in cognitive behavioral ideas and trauma-focused care. Together with clients she develops small experiments, new routines, and ways to reframe stressful thoughts so change feels possible day to day. Sheera speaks English and Hebrew and practices in New York.
She works with people who want help sorting priorities, reducing overwhelm, or building healthier habits, and she guides each person toward goals they set for themselves.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following your priorities. Online sessions let the therapist hear what matters most and shape each meeting around your goals. This approach helps when you need help organizing parenting tasks, managing stress, or clarifying what you want to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps you try small experiments that change those patterns. In video or phone sessions you can learn practical skills, plan homework, and review what worked in everyday life to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or manage impulsivity.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the hold of past distress and building coping tools for triggered moments. That work can be paced to match your needs and is often paired with grounding exercises and clear steps for safety and regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sheera will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. You and the therapist will check in and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to keep therapy going from different locations. They also let people pick the communication style that feels most practical for day-to-day change.
