Sherol Ziegenbein

Sherol Ziegenbein is a licensed counselor with two decades in mental health work. She draws on long experience supporting people facing family strain, relationship stress, trauma, anxiety, career questions, and major life changes. Her approach centers on helping people feel less alone and more able to move forward.

She has worked with individuals, couples, and families from a range of backgrounds. Much of her career involved serving disadvantaged groups, people with cognitive challenges, and those facing severe and persistent mental illnesses. She has also spent many years doing crisis intervention and helping after traumatic incidents.

Sherol has worked in domestic violence shelters and in community outreach programs for homelessness and independent living. Those roles shaped her focus on practical coping skills and connection. She aims to help people recover a sense of direction and self-worth after hard experiences.

Her practice emphasizes mindfulness and centeredness. Sessions typically include listening, building self-awareness, and practicing skills to manage stress, grief, or relationship conflict. She works collaboratively, helping people name priorities and take small steps toward stability.

Clients who want help with compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, attachment or abandonment issues, chronic illness or disability, or communication problems may find her background relevant. Sherol wants to help people find purpose and regain hope in difficult times.

How Sherol’s methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, life changes, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different thoughts and behaviors to change feelings and daily routines; it often helps with stress, anxiety, and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on improving emotional connection and communication in relationships by identifying feelings and changing interaction patterns; it can be useful for relationship strain and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaboration may include mixing techniques from different approaches to fit a client’s situation.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing sessions to happen from more convenient locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or make it simpler to continue support during transitions.
