CBT-informed online therapy for parents and families

Dr. Sherman uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life. CBT sessions are practical and often include homework like tracking sleep, challenging anxious thoughts, or practicing new parenting strategies between meetings.

She also integrates behavioral techniques to address specific problems such as phobias, panic, trichotillomania, and disruptive behaviors in children. These methods focus on step-by-step exposure, routine changes, and skill practice to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person or parent to choose which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Over time they adjust the plan based on what proves helpful in real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging so parents can connect from home, during breaks, or between errands. These options make it easier to keep continuity with regular sessions and to practice skills in the environments where challenges occur.

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.
