About Sheera
Sheera Scherman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 18 years of psychotherapy experience. She works with adults facing addiction, trauma, mood and anxiety concerns, and relationship or parenting stress. Sheera also focuses on codependency and control issues when those patterns are getting in the way.
She uses a client-centered stance that treats the person as the expert on their life. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical, looking for strengths the client already has. Sheera aims to help people increase self-awareness and make choices that feel more manageable.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are causing ongoing distress. These approaches are combined with client-centered work to keep the process grounded in the person's own priorities.
Sheera often helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around another person's mood swings or substance use. She talks through steps for setting boundaries, managing anxiety, and coping with life changes without blaming the client for past choices.
Sheera offers sessions in English and Hebrew and accepts international clients. She works from clear goals and practical strategies, and she asks clients to take an active role in planning what comes next.
How sessions work
How Sheera’s approaches translate to online work
Sheera integrates client-centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration, helping people clarify what matters to them and set practical goals. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools for changing patterns that cause distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps process past events that continue to affect daily life and teaches coping skills for strong emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sheera will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend ways of working that fit those needs. The decision about which techniques to try is collaborative and can change over time as goals evolve.
