About Sheera

Sheera Scherman is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 18 years of psychotherapy experience. She works with people who want to increase self-awareness and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Sheera speaks English and Hebrew and accepts international clients. Sheera uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals in focus.

Background and approach

That means sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client, not a fixed script. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and on trauma-focused methods when past hurts are getting in the way. In practical terms, Sheera guides conversations so clients can spot small shifts that add up over time.

She emphasizes clear steps and realistic strategies for change, such as experimenting with new behaviors or testing different ways of thinking. The work often includes both insight and hands-on practice. Sheera has experience across a wide range of concerns including parenting and family matters, addiction, mood and anxiety issues, trauma, grief, workplace stresses, and relationship-related topics.

She keeps sessions focused on the problems clients bring and on building reliable coping skills. Starting is simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

How Sheera’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Sheera combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to create clear, goal-focused online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the conversation starts with what matters most to the client and unfolds at their pace, which helps when sorting parenting or family stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers practical exercises that translate well to video or text-based formats.

Sheera also uses trauma-focused methods when past events cause ongoing distress. Those methods focus on stabilizing symptoms, building coping skills, and gradually addressing painful memories in a way the client is ready for. Choosing the right approach is part of the work; Sheera treats it as a collaborative process and adjusts methods based on each person’s goals and comfort level.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or caregiving responsibilities. Sessions by video or phone let clients meet from home, while live chat and text messaging provide shorter, more frequent touchpoints when that fits better. These options help maintain continuity of care and make it easier to practice new skills between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
