About Sheera
Sheera Scherman works with people who want to understand themselves better and make lasting changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience and practices from New York. She speaks English and Hebrew and helps clients facing a wide range of issues, including mood challenges, anxiety, trauma, and struggles with relationships and self-worth.
She uses a client-centered way of working that starts with the person's own strengths.
How Sheera works
Sessions focus on listening, identifying patterns that get in the way, and building practical steps to try between meetings. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and trauma-focused strategies when past events remain painful. Her approach is conversational and direct.
She helps people set realistic goals and breaks bigger problems into small, doable actions. For concerns like addictive behavior, panic, grief, or career stress, she offers concrete tools to manage feelings and impulses. Sheera draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience to tailor sessions to each person's needs.
She explains ideas in plain language and checks in about what is and isn't working. Therapy is framed as a collaborative process where the client’s perspective guides decisions. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are handled upfront.
Sheera offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick the way that fits their life. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial appointment according to availability.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and strengths. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build understanding and goals, which helps when facing issues like low self-esteem or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, mood problems, and workplace stress because it emphasizes small exercises you can practice between sessions.
Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on safely processing past events and reducing their day-to-day impact. This work is paced to the person’s comfort and can help with post-traumatic stress and lingering effects of abuse.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for these approaches. Video calls allow face-to-face talk and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when video is not required, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel.
