About Sherrita
Sherrita Ried offers care for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels hard and start to find clearer ways forward. She brings six years of clinical experience as an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - practicing in North Carolina.
Her early work in nursing shaped how she listens; seeing unspoken emotional pain there influenced her decision to move into counseling.
How Sherrita works
She uses that background to attend to both emotional and practical needs in sessions. Her approach is grounded in client-centered work and practical strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions.
Mindfulness practices are woven in to support present-moment awareness and stress reduction. Sessions focus on building trust, identifying patterns that cause pain, and practicing small, usable tools between appointments. She helps people address intimacy issues, grief, career stress, caregiving strain, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue among other challenges.
Sherrita also works with concerns like abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family stress, chronic illness, codependency, and communication problems. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs so progress happens in ways that feel manageable.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and helps the person set goals at their own pace. This approach helps with relationship strain, grief, and work or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include simple exercises to notice thinking patterns and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication, useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That shared planning can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work break, while chat and messaging let people send updates or process between appointments. These options make it easier to get consistent care around a busy life.
