About Jennifer
Jennifer (Jen) Sherman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and life changes. She supports those dealing with trauma, parenting strain, LGBT concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make conversations feel calm and practical.
Jen uses a friendly, interactive approach in sessions. She keeps things honest and down-to-earth and often brings a sense of humor. Clients can expect a space that focuses on strengths and practical skills rather than blame.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered ideas. In plain terms, that means talking through thoughts and behaviors, learning emotion skills, clarifying personal values, and shaping goals that fit daily life.
Jen has about 12 years of experience and has worked in private practice, university counseling, and grade schools. That background informs her work with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and child behavior issues.
She aims to help people build self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and strengthen coping and communication skills. Outside of counseling she enjoys reading and family time, and she often mentions that a little laughter belongs in the room. Her practice is located in North Carolina and sessions are offered in English.
How therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting uncomfortable feelings while committing to meaningful action, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life disruption.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors, which often helps with stress, anxiety, and mood problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can use these formats to guide skills practice, support coping during major events, and follow up on goals between sessions.
