About Carlie

Carlie Sherman is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience. She works from a practical, down-to-earth stance and focuses on reducing stress and anxiety while addressing trauma and related problems. She makes therapy straightforward and goals-focused so parents and caregivers can quickly see how sessions fit into daily life.

Carlie blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices in session. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, when trauma processing is needed.

Background and approach

Sessions mix skills teaching, short experiments, and reflective discussion so people leave with clear steps to try between meetings. Her background includes hospital work, crisis care, and independent practice in Georgia. That variety shaped an approach that values practical tools and steady pacing.

She draws on life experience and ongoing training to tailor plans to each person’s situation. Carlie pays attention to how biology, thinking patterns, and relationships all affect wellbeing. She helps people break down problems into small, solvable parts and practices new responses in session.

Her work covers stress, depression, sleep issues, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to identity and workplace pressures. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Carlie aims to educate and empower people to make manageable changes.

If someone wants clear guidance and brief skill-building focused on daily life, her method centers on practical steps and collaborative planning.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It’s straightforward and often includes homework to practice skills between sessions.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. It is used when past experiences continue to cause strong reactions in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptoms and then recommend techniques to try. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it possible to fit sessions around family schedules, work, and other responsibilities. Many people find remote sessions easier to keep regularly, which helps maintain momentum between appointments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
