About Sherry
Dr. Sherry Bland is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, grief, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as sleep and eating issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She and the person she sees set goals together and build skills to manage strong emotions and recurring behavior patterns. Sessions focus on what is causing distress now and on small, doable steps to change how someone responds under pressure.
Dr. Bland uses several straightforward therapy methods. She draws on client-centered conversation to clarify what matters most to the client. She adds cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused tools are used to create short-term plans and build awareness of triggers for anger or anxiety.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced physical trauma, emotional abuse, and post-traumatic stress concerns. She has also supported clients dealing with infidelity, veteran and armed forces issues, social anxiety, and intimacy-related problems. That range means she often helps people facing complex stressors alongside relationship strain.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration, clear steps, and skill building. People are invited to talk through current problems, experiment with new responses, and reflect on what works. The practical focus is on reducing reactive anger, improving communication, and rebuilding trust in relationships.
Approaches used online and how they help
Dr. Bland often uses client-centered work to ground sessions in what matters most to the person. This approach involves listening closely and letting the client's priorities guide the conversation, which helps when anger is tied to relationship or life-role stress.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on method that looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people notice patterns that lead to sudden anger and practice different responses in real situations. Mindfulness techniques are added to help with noticing physical signs of rising anger and returning attention to chosen responses rather than reactive ones.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will work together with the client to test methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That way sessions stay focused and practical rather than theoretical.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep consistency while they practice new ways of managing anger and rebuilding relationship skills.
