Carlie Sherman, LPC

Carlie Sherman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with more than a decade of clinical experience across hospitals, crisis care settings, and private practice. She focuses on supporting adults who struggle with ADHD and the impacts of trauma, and she also works with clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, sleep difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Her clinical view is biopsychosocial - she considers biological, psychological, and social influences when shaping treatment plans and collaborates with clients to address the full picture of their challenges.

Carlie predominantly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to help clients develop practical skills for managing symptoms and improving day to day functioning. She has additional training in EMDR therapy and anger management, which she integrates when appropriate to address past distress and emotional regulation. A practicing Buddhist with formative experiences in Catholic schooling and southern Baptist traditions, she brings a broad cultural and spiritual awareness to her work.

Committed to ongoing learning, Carlie concentrates on educating and empowering adults with ADHD and trauma-related concerns. Her aim is to help clients build resilience, clarify goals, and move toward a more satisfying daily life. When someone is ready to begin, she supports them in taking that first step.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Online sessions with Carlie Sherman draw on established approaches to help clients meet specific goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with ADHD related challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a structured approach for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact when trauma is a central concern. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion practices that can support emotion regulation and stress reduction.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative - Carlie will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then recommend strategies or combine methods that fit the individual. The process is flexible and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow sessions to fit around work, family, and travel. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and use tools that suit a client’s communication style and daily routine.
