About Jennifer
Jennifer (Jen) Sherman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with young adults and others on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues related to LGBT identity. Jen also supports people facing bipolar symptoms, self-esteem struggles, anger, and major life changes.
Her style is direct and interactive. She talks with clients rather than lecturing. Sessions often include practical skills for managing anxiety and mood, and straightforward conversations about goals and values. She brings a sense of humor when appropriate and aims to be honest and authentic in sessions.
Jen uses evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means work can include skill-building, values clarification, emotion regulation strategies, and attention to relationship patterns.
Her background includes private practice, university counseling, and work in grade schools. Those settings have shaped how she supports people with trauma, mood disorders, family-of-origin concerns, and communication or attachment difficulties. Jen also lists focused areas like abandonment, blended family issues, body image, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and Jen does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them, which can help with feeling stuck after university or big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and builds practical coping skills for anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to prioritize. That plan can change as work progresses and new needs emerge.
