About Sherida
Sherida Newmister is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience based in Indiana. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationship strain, addiction, career challenges, and other life changes. Sherida also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, communication problems, and compassion fatigue.
She aims for straightforward, practical work in sessions. Sherida listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people identify small, usable changes. Conversations include building better ways to cope with strong emotions and improving patterns that get in the way of goals.
Sherida uses several evidence-based approaches in her work. Clients may encounter cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment methods to clarify values and take action, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the focus on the person’s perspective and needs.
Sessions often include practicing concrete skills, setting simple goals, and checking progress from one meeting to the next. For people coping with trauma, EMDR is listed among her approaches and may be discussed as one option within a broader plan. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness.
People who prefer English-language therapy and those outside the U.S. can be matched for international sessions. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when anger or frustration gets in the way of goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that feed anger and anxiety. This approach often includes simple exercises to try between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma-related symptoms and involves structured processing of distressing memories; it is one of the approaches Sherida lists and can be part of a plan for trauma recovery.Finding the right mix is part of the work. Sherida will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their situation, needs, and preferences. That means starting with clear goals, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan together as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use therapy while living in different places, including international locations, as long as the session format is confirmed ahead of time.
