About Sheera
Sheera Scherman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 18 years of experience. She works with adults who want to understand strong emotions, manage anger, and make practical changes in their lives. She speaks English and Hebrew and meets people who bring concerns like anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, and relationship strain.
Sheera uses a client-centered stance. That means she listens first and helps people notice their own strengths. Sessions focus on clear steps a person can try between meetings, and on building skills that reduce outbursts, impulsivity, or mounting resentment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in her approach when practical tools are needed. That can include spotting thought patterns that fuel anger, and testing new behaviors in everyday situations. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm continues to shape reactions and day-to-day functioning.
Sheera frames the work as collaborative. She helps people set small, realistic goals and checks progress each session. Conversations include problem solving, emotion regulation strategies, and plans for coping with triggers at work or at home.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete techniques. The emphasis is on noticing what does and doesn’t work, then trying alternatives. Sheera encourages steady practice and brief experiments that fit into busy lives.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sheera uses Client-Centered Therapy to begin by listening closely and building on a person’s strengths. That approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, provides clear tools for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors that reduce anger and anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past painful events are affecting daily reactions and coping skills.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. Sheera will help identify goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what works. Sessions often mix talking, skill practice, and short homework tasks so progress can be tracked between meetings.
If you plan to work online, confirm the session formats when booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit into a busy day. It can allow shorter check-ins, let people avoid travel time, and make it simpler to fit therapy into a lunch break or between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools to work well across different setups, and Sheera will help decide what approach and rhythm fit your life.
