How sessions work
How her CBT approach adapts to online work
Dr. Sherman uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, depression, panic, and sleep problems and focuses on short experiments and skill practice between sessions.She also applies behavioral techniques for parenting strategies and for coping with chronic illness. These methods break problems into specific behaviors and teach clear, repeatable strategies that can be practiced in daily life. That makes them straightforward to use in remote sessions as well as in person.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches that fit. The client and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to try and how to track progress.
