ADHD, obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors, panic, phobias, and hair-pulling concerns are also areas she addresses. Her work includes supporting people who face chronic illness, chronic pain, fatigue, and medical challenges.

Dr. Sherman earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Florida in 2010 and holds the Florida Psychologist credential PY9474. She has about 10 years of clinical experience working with adults and younger clients under age 40, and she often collaborates with parents to teach behavior strategies for children’s disruptive behaviors.

In sessions she focuses on practical strategies you can use right away. That might include identifying thought patterns, testing unhelpful beliefs, and building small daily routines that reduce stress and improve sleep. The aim is to break big problems into clear, doable steps.

If you want to start, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are offered in English and are based in Florida.

How cognitive approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing everyday habits. It uses short, practical exercises to test beliefs and build healthier routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress management.

For concerns like OCD symptoms, panic, phobias, and ADHD-related challenges, cognitive-behavioral strategies often include gradual behavior experiments, structured practice, and clear skill-building steps. These techniques break problems into manageable tasks and track progress over time.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust plans as needs change. That collaborative process helps ensure techniques match daily life and responsibilities.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new habits in the settings where they live and work, which can help generalize skills to everyday life.
