She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 2010 - a Doctor of Philosophy degree that prepared her for advanced clinical work - and holds the state credential FL Psychologist PY9474.

She focuses on supporting women under age 40 as well as children and adolescents, helping them manage stress, navigate life changes, and address family concerns. Her practice targets common mood and anxiety conditions including depression, generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and obsessions and compulsions. She also provides treatment for ADHD, specific phobias, trichotillomania, and sleep difficulties.

In addition to individual therapy, she partners directly with parents to teach evidence-based parenting strategies for disruptive behavior and other challenges. Dr. Sherman also works with individuals and families coping with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, chronic pain and fatigue, transplants, and cancer, offering support for the emotional and practical impacts of illness.

Her approach is warm, caring, and open-minded; she integrates evidence-based methods with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to tailor care to each person. She welcomes an initial conversation to determine whether her style and expertise are a good fit.

CBT and Parenting Support Through Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. It offers practical tools for reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive concerns, and it can include skills for improving sleep and managing stress.

Evidence-based parenting strategies are another key element of Dr. Sherman’s work. These approaches teach parents consistent, research-supported techniques to address disruptive behaviors and build stronger family routines and communication, helping children and adolescents respond more positively to guidance.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the care process. Dr. Sherman works collaboratively with each person and family to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists. Sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, attend from home, or maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
