About Carlie
Carlie Sherman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who draws on 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and burnout from caregiving or work. Carlie blends practical strategies with a calm, direct style to help people feel steadier day to day.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Mindfulness practices are woven in to build awareness and reduce reactivity.
How Carlie works
She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people who want a targeted approach for traumatic memories. Carlie’s background includes hospital work, crisis care, and independent practice. That variety shaped her ability to respond calmly during high-stress moments and to plan steady progress over time.
Her clinical perspective considers biological, psychological, and social factors that affect well-being. Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving sleep, managing impulsivity, easing social anxiety, or addressing commitment and communication problems. She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, isolation, workplace stress, and issues related to identity and multicultural concerns.
Practical skills and psychoeducation are common parts of her work. People who choose Carlie can expect straightforward guidance, collaborative goal-setting, and tools to use between sessions. She welcomes conversations about coaching-style goals as well as therapy for mood, trauma, and attention differences.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care and trauma
CBT helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It’s practical and skill-focused, often involving simple homework like tracking thoughts or testing new actions.EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with how distressing memories are stored. Sessions use guided attention to help reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories and can be useful for people dealing with past abuse or trauma.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus. Practices are short and practical, such as breathing exercises and brief attention shifts that can fit into a daily routine.
Carlie treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might help. Together they decide what to try first and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for full conversations and guided practices, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep consistent progress.
