About Sherline

Sherline Herard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, depression, and compassion fatigue. Sherline speaks English and Haitian Creole and frames clients as the experts in their own lives.

Sherline uses practical conversations to help people notice patterns that cause distress. She asks questions that clarify what matters to each person and what gets in the way of living that out. Sessions focus on building simple skills to manage anxiety, improve communication, and rebuild confidence.

Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based practices. That means clients learn to recognize unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try small behavior changes. She also uses attachment-informed work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.

Sherline favors a direct but respectful style. She helps people name what they value, set boundaries, and practice new ways of responding when relationships feel overwhelming. For those living around someone else’s moods, drinking, or crises, she helps people find more stable ways to cope.

Clients can expect short-term skill building and longer-term exploration depending on their goals. The first session clarifies priorities and practical next steps. Sherline supports people who want clearer boundaries, less reactivity, and better self-regard.

How sessions work

How Sherline’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to identify what matters to them and to take small actions that align with those values. This approach helps with anxiety, low motivation, and feelings of being stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It can help reduce anxiety and depressive patterns by changing behaviors and thinking habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences affect current reactions and communication. It is useful for people who repeatedly feel overwhelmed in relationships or who struggle with trust and boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherline will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She uses clients’ feedback and small trials of techniques to see what helps most, so therapy adjusts over time rather than being a fixed plan.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a longer visit isn’t possible. Some methods, like CBT exercises or ACT experiments, adapt well to remote sessions and can be practiced between meetings to reinforce progress.
