About Sheera

Sheera Scherman, LCSW, works with clients who are ready to increase self-awareness and make practical changes in their lives.

Background and approach

Based in New York with 18 years of clinical experience, she emphasizes helping people identify and build on the strengths they already possess while navigating challenges such as anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, grief, and stress. Her style supports those seeking clearer coping strategies as well as people exploring identity, relationships, and workplace concerns.

Her practice weaves together client-centered principles with evidence-informed tools drawn from cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused approaches. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients' goals guide the work and where attention to values and personal resources helps inform next steps.

Sheera is licensed as an LCSW in New York and offers services in English and Hebrew, including online formats for international clients. Prospective clients are invited to take the first step through a brief matching process and schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches that guide online treatment

Sheera employs client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative environment where the client's own goals and strengths shape the work; this approach helps people clarify values and tap into internal resources. Sheera also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, impulsivity, and everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is regarded as a process rather than a one-time decision. Sheera works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods feel most helpful, adjusting strategies over time to align with changing needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules and differing communication styles. These formats allow clients to engage in skill-building, explore trauma-informed work, or pursue coaching-oriented goals from different locations and timeframes, making it easier to maintain continuity of care alongside other life responsibilities.
