About Sherol

Sherol Ziegenbein is a licensed counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, relationships, and trauma. She brings 20 years of experience in mental health to conversations about self-esteem, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Sherol writes simply and listens closely to understand what each household needs.

She aims to help people feel less lost and find direction, purpose, and a renewed sense of worth.

Background and approach

Her background includes long-term work with diverse communities and with people facing significant challenges. That work included outreach with domestic violence shelters and programs supporting independent living for people with cognitive differences. Sherol has also handled crisis intervention and other trauma-related incidents throughout her career.

In sessions she draws on practical, evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Emotionally-Focused and Imago approaches guide couples and family work toward clearer connection and communication. Sherol holds credentials as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC and as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC, with licensure ties to Nevada. She offers different ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Her practice style centers on steady presence, simple tools, and supporting families to build more stable patterns. Parents and caregivers will find practical coaching, skills for handling conflict, and help managing stress so daily life feels more workable.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small steps toward them, even when feelings are heavy. It is useful for coping with life changes, stress, and finding direction when uncertainty feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life steps, which can ease anxiety and improve daily routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Imago work help partners and family members communicate differently and rebuild connection after conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherol will collaborate with each person or family to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online therapy in her practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving families multiple ways to connect around busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions into life, try shorter check-ins, or follow up between meetings. The goal is to keep therapy flexible and accessible while focusing on useful, real-life changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
