About Jennifer
Jennifer (Jen) Sherman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and identity-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, parenting pressures, and codependency. Jen creates a warm, straightforward space where people can talk honestly and begin to find practical coping skills.
Her style is interactive and down-to-earth. Sessions are conversational and often include humor when it fits. She aims to make clients feel understood while working toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.
Jen draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she builds trust and responds to each person’s needs.
Her background includes 12 years in settings such as private practice, university counseling, and grade schools. That variety informs how she supports teens, adolescents, adults, and LGBTQ-affirmative and transgender transitioning individuals. Her work commonly focuses on self-esteem, anxiety reduction, coping skills, and relationship skill-building.
Outside of work she reads widely and balances life with two energetic children and an easygoing love of dance parties in the kitchen. Jen schedules live sessions week to week and typically offers some evening and weekend times.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. That choice can change over time as new challenges and strengths appear.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. In general, online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel and allowing appointments to happen from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, evening or weekend scheduling that fits work or school, and flexibility when energy or childcare needs change. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to an online setting so clients can practice skills between sessions and track progress over time.
