About Sherline

Sherline Herard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self esteem, and depression, and she also addresses compassion fatigue. Sherline speaks English and Haitian Creole and brings five years of professional experience to her work.

She starts by listening so she can understand what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to help people notice their strengths and use those strengths to meet everyday challenges. Sherline frames therapy as a partnership where the client is the expert on their own life.

Her approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and act in line with their values. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused methods guide conversations about closeness, trust, and how relationships affect mood.

Sherline works with people dealing with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, divorce or separation, and coping after disasters. She also supports those navigating personality-related struggles such as avoidant or dependent tendencies.

Therapy with her is straightforward and practical. She helps people set small, manageable goals and practices skills between sessions. To begin, individuals select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when stress, anxiety, or motivation feel in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems like anxiety and depression going. It often includes practical exercises and homework to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then adjust methods as work progresses. That means approaches may be blended to fit a person's situation rather than using a single method exclusively.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue work when scheduling or location would otherwise be a barrier. Licensed professionals can discuss how to structure sessions so they match everyday routines and therapeutic goals.
