Sherrita Ried, LCMHC

Sherrita Ried is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, grief, and other common life challenges. Her work often covers intimacy issues, self-esteem, parenting concerns, career stress, and coping with major life changes.

She brings earlier experience from nursing into her counseling work, which shaped how she notices unspoken emotional pain and the need for straightforward support. Sessions focus on honest conversation and practical steps rather than complicated jargon. Clients can expect direct yet calm guidance for sorting through feelings and reactions.

Her approach draws on client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques. That means the conversation centers on the person while also identifying unhelpful patterns and building new skills for managing emotions and behavior. Mindfulness practices and elements of emotionally focused work are used to help clients notice feelings and improve connections in relationships.

In sessions she works to identify repeated patterns, clarify values and goals, and develop hands-on tools for day-to-day challenges. For someone dealing with mounting resentment, snapping at partners, or workplace frustration, this looks like learning ways to pause, reframe thoughts, and practice alternative responses.

Sherrita has experience supporting people with trauma, bipolar concerns, caregiving stress, and complex relational issues. She also notes work with LGBTQ clients and situations involving adoption, blended families, and sexual culture topics. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
