About Sherry

Sherry Friedman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with twelve years of clinical experience. She blends psychodynamic and transformational Jungian perspectives with mindfulness-based techniques to help people address stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, and a range of issues from career and self-esteem to compassion fatigue and multicultural concerns. Friedman favors a holistic, multi-dimensional approach that considers emotional, cultural, environmental, and energetic factors shaping each person’s experience.

She offers a warm, interactive style that emphasizes rapport and emotional attunement, and incorporates practices aimed at resilience and self-discovery. Clients can expect collaborative exploration of roots of distress alongside practical coping skills and mindfulness strategies.

Sessions aim toward greater clarity about life purpose, healthier boundaries, and sustained emotional growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sherry draws on Attachment-Based principles and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as part of her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and safety in relationships, helping people understand how early and current bonds affect feelings and behavior. DBT emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore needs, goals, and preferences, and together they tailor an approach that balances insight-oriented exploration with practical skill building. This collaborative decision making helps ensure therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work on coping skills, emotion regulation, and relational patterns from wherever a client is located within the therapist's service area.
