About Jennifer
Jennifer (Jen) Sherman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, grief, parenting strain, and LGBT-related concerns. Jen also addresses self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.
Her style is direct and interactive. Sessions are conversational and practical. She uses a sense of humor when it helps. The focus is on building skills for everyday moments and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Jen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, and client-centered work. That means she helps people notice thoughts and behaviors, practice new ways of reacting, and choose actions that match their values. She teaches coping skills, emotion regulation, and communication strategies.
She has experience from private practice, university counseling, and work in grade schools. That background informs how she supports issues like trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and child behavior concerns. She also helps people navigate blended family issues, abandonment and attachment struggles, codependency, and communication problems.
Sessions are practical and grounded. Jen helps people develop tools for managing anger, reducing anxiety, and improving relationships. Outside work she reads widely and enjoys time with her two children, often with an impromptu kitchen dance party.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take steps aligned with their values. It focuses less on changing feelings and more on changing how you respond so life runs more smoothly. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches clear strategies to reduce avoidance, challenge unhelpful thinking, and try new actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for intense feelings and relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods and see what fits best. That means adjusting tools and emphasis based on goals, whether the priority is anger management, anxiety reduction, or relationship skills.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use those sessions to teach exercises, practice new responses, and review real-life situations so skills transfer outside of appointments.
