About Stephen

Stephen Sherokey is an LMHC based in New York who brings 12 years of clinical experience to work with people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

He focuses on concerns such as addictions, depression, anxiety, grief, stress, relationship difficulties, ADHD, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and issues around self-esteem and anger. He also addresses career questions, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and other sources of ongoing strain.

His style blends practical, goal-oriented methods with reflective exploration. Stephen uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, Motivational Interviewing to support commitment to change, and Existential Therapy to explore meaning, values, and life purpose.

He integrates attention to forgiveness, guilt, and shame while offering support for caregiver stress, chronic illness-related concerns, and substance-related problems. Stephen’s practice emphasizes collaboration and respect, aiming to help clients develop clearer coping strategies and renewed purpose.

He works with clients through multiple online formats from his New York license, guiding them to find approaches that fit their needs and daily life rhythms.

Approach-Focused Online Care and Flexible Session Options

Stephen commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing into online work. CBT helps clients learn to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on building motivation and commitment to change, making it a helpful tool for addictions, smoking or vaping cessation, and other behavior change goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephen will work with each person to explore what methods feel most helpful given their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to match emerging needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing treatment while balancing work or caregiving responsibilities, and access support from New York without commuting to an office.
