About Sherita
Sherita Dobbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and relationship or family struggles. Her approach is warm and direct, and she aims to meet each person where they are.
She uses practical methods that focus on what helps in daily life. Sessions often include client-centered conversation to understand concerns and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thought patterns.
How Sherita works
Dialectical behavior skills and emotionally-focused ideas are used when people need help regulating intense feelings or improving emotional connection. Sherita has worked in mental health settings, inpatient and outpatient care, schools, and a home hospice program. That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to different needs.
She draws on hypnotherapy for targeted work when appropriate and combines approaches rather than relying on a single method. Her manner is compassionate and straightforward. She emphasizes dignity and respect while being honest and practical about next steps.
The goal is steady progress - better coping skills, clearer communication, and more consistent mood management. People who choose Sherita can expect collaborative sessions that focus on immediate concerns and long-term goals. She offers therapy options suited to different schedules and preferences.
Her Mississippi base informs her perspective, and she also works with international clients in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting, supportive relationship. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change in their lives.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people relate to others. It can be useful when stress and strong reactions interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Online therapy offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper sessions. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or for fitting a session into a short break. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility to match a person's routine and communication style.
