Dr. Katherine Sherman

Dr. Katherine Sherman uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people manage stress and life transitions. She is a Florida psychologist with a practical style that parents and young adults often find approachable. Her focus includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep problems, self-esteem, and anger. She also addresses parenting concerns and ways to reduce household conflict by teaching clear strategies.

With ten years of clinical experience, she helps people break problems into small, manageable steps. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, such as changing unhelpful thoughts, building routines, and practicing new behaviors. Dr. Sherman works directly with parents to coach specific techniques for challenging child behaviors and to improve daily routines.

She also supports people facing chronic illness, ongoing pain, or medical treatments by helping them cope with the emotional strain those situations cause. For targeted issues like obsessive thoughts, phobias, panic, trichotillomania, and ADHD-related struggles, she applies focused behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms and increase functioning.

Her manner is warm and open-minded, and she aims to make sessions clear and practical. People will leave with specific steps to try at home and a plan for tracking progress. Dr. Sherman encourages questions and a collaborative approach to care.

To start, fill out the matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How CBT translates to online work

Dr. Sherman uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT often includes short exercises between sessions, goal setting, and tracking progress to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.

She applies CBT techniques when addressing parenting concerns by teaching concrete strategies parents can try and report back on. For problems like OCD-related rituals, phobias, or panic, she uses step-by-step behavioral strategies to reduce avoidance and build tolerance to difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time based on how things are going, and adjustments are made collaboratively.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice new skills in their everyday settings and report back on what worked.
