About Sherita

Sherita Dobbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem issues, life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical experience, she brings a breadth of practice across inpatient, outpatient, school, and home hospice settings, and has worked with individuals, groups, and families facing complex emotional and behavioral concerns. Her style emphasizes a client-centered, empathic way of relating that is also direct and honest.

She draws on an eclectic mix of evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), hypnotherapy, and other therapeutic techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. Sherita values dignity, respect, and meeting clients where they are while fostering personal growth and healing through practical skills, emotional processing, and collaborative goal-setting.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration; it helps people explore feelings and values while guiding choices that feel authentic to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, making it helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine what methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may blend elements from different approaches and adjust strategies over time to improve fit and effectiveness.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide an audio-only option, live chat allows real-time text interaction, and text-based messaging supports shorter, ongoing check-ins. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or mobility constraints while accessing licensed professionals who can apply CBT, DBT, and client-centered principles in remote sessions.
