Sherol Ziegenbein, LCPC, LPC

Sherol Ziegenbein is a licensed mental health therapist with two decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life transitions and complex challenges. She holds LCPC and LPC counseling credentials, reflecting professional training and licensure in clinical counseling, and she brings a long history of work with disadvantaged populations, people with cognitive challenges, and those living with severe and persistent mental illness.

Sherol has extensive experience in crisis intervention and in responding to traumatic events, and she has found meaningful work providing services in domestic violence shelters and community outreach programs focused on homelessness and independent living for cognitively challenged clients. Her practice blends practical skills with a commitment to meeting people where they are, offering alternative ways to communicate and access support when traditional paths feel out of reach.

She is dedicated to helping people who feel devalued, isolated, or uncertain to rediscover self-worth, direction, and hope. Her clinical focus includes family systems, relationships, trauma and abuse, anxiety, stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Sherol emphasizes mindfulness and being centered, and she helps clients develop their voice and sense of purpose while working toward meaningful change and greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Sherol draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work in ways that fit each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while committing to actions that reflect personal values - it can help with anxiety, life changes, and finding direction. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their experiences and build self-understanding - it is useful for relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing stress, anxiety, and mood challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Sherol works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She tailors interventions over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Sherol is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals - whether someone prefers real-time conversation or more flexible messaging support - and support continuity of treatment across life transitions.
