About Carlie

Carlie Sherman, LPC, draws on more than 11 years of clinical experience to guide adults through challenges such as ADHD, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Background and approach

She practices from a biopsychosocial perspective, which means she looks at how biological factors, thought patterns, and social context interact to shape a person’s difficulties. Her work blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, and she also uses EMDR when appropriate to address trauma-related symptoms.

Her background includes work in hospitals, crisis care, and independent practice, and she brings that range to individualized treatment plans focused on symptom relief and skill building. Carlie weaves personal influences from multiple faith backgrounds into a respectful, reflective approach without imposing beliefs.

She also attends to concerns like sleep problems, self-esteem, workplace stress, and compassion fatigue, as well as issues such as impulsivity, communication problems, and social anxiety. Clients can expect a collaborative process aimed at practical strategies and deeper healing.

Carlie emphasizes education and empowerment so adults can better manage ADHD-related challenges and trauma responses while pursuing more satisfying daily functioning and relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Many of Carlie's sessions draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. Mindfulness therapy is also central to her work and teaches attention and acceptance skills that can improve stress management, emotional regulation, and sleep. When trauma processing is needed, EMDR-informed techniques may be incorporated to help reduce distress associated with traumatic memories and their emotional impact.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client’s symptoms, goals, and preferences and recommend strategies or combinations of methods that fit their needs. This shared decision-making helps tailor an active plan that balances practical skills with deeper healing work.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and choose the communication method that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions across these modalities to support progress over time.
