About Katherine
Dr. Katherine Sherman is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY9474) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting issues, depression, ADHD, sleep problems, and anger. She also addresses challenges tied to chronic illness and life transitions. Her work favors clear, behavior-focused strategies rather than long theoretical talks.
She sees people who want practical ways to handle daily stress and strong emotions. She uses cognitive-behavioral methods to break down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Sessions often include skill practice, short behavioral experiments, and step-by-step problem solving. Parents can expect concrete coaching on consistent routines and behavior strategies.
Her background includes a Ph.D. from the University of Florida earned in 2010 and a decade helping people adopt skills that change how they react to triggers. She describes sessions as collaborative and task-oriented, with homework between meetings to try new approaches in real life. That structure is intended to make progress measurable and persistent.
Dr. Sherman works with concerns ranging from panic and phobias to obsessions, compulsions, and young adult issues. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or post-treatment adjustment. Where sleep or attention problems get in the way, she integrates focused behavioral strategies to improve routine and functioning.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a mix of assessment, skills training, and follow-through. Readers should confirm current session options and scheduling steps before booking, as formats are set at the time of intake.
How CBT-based work translates to online sessions
Dr. Sherman uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive. CBT breaks problems into small steps, teaches skills such as managing worry or changing unhelpful reactions, and uses short experiments to test new behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood challenges.She also applies behavioral strategies for parenting and routines. That work involves clear instructions, practice, and feedback so parents can try new responses and track what changes. For chronic pain or illness, behavioral methods look at daily habits and activity pacing to reduce flare-ups and improve functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust what does or does not help. Clients and the therapist choose the mix of CBT and behavior work based on progress and comfort.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that suits the plan. Confirm current session formats and scheduling steps when you sign up so practical details match your needs.
