About Sherrita
Sherrita Ried, LCMHC, focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and money and financial issues that affect day-to-day life. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what matters to them and start to untangle painful patterns. Sessions aim to be practical and steady, with attention to immediate needs and longer-term change.
Ried’s path into counseling began after years in nursing and study in psychology. She completed a Master’s in Counseling at Wake Forest University and holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC. Those experiences shaped her interest in grief, trauma recovery, and the emotional fallout of medical and caregiving stress.
In sessions she uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools. That means she listens closely, tests unhelpful thinking, and practices skills to manage strong emotions. She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused work when relationships and intense feelings are central.
People often come to her for help with life transitions, intimacy and communication problems, parenting strain, or grief and loss. She pays attention to how money and financial worries tie into stress and decision-making. The focus is on concrete steps clients can try between sessions and on noticing small changes.
Ried works from North Carolina and speaks English. She emphasizes a collaborative pace, letting each person set goals and move forward at a comfortable rate. To begin, visitors complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time to meet.
Approaches That Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy begins with listening closely to what matters to the person and building a trusting way of working together. Online sessions can keep that focus by allowing the therapist to follow the client's lead and tailor conversation to current needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and introduces simple experiments and skills to change them. Online appointments can be used to introduce these tools, practice them in-session, and assign short exercises to try between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When emotion regulation or relationship patterns are a central concern, DBT skills work can be brought into a collaborative online plan.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and test methods that fit personal needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether more skills work, emotion-focused work, or a client-led conversation approach will be most useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also supports working on practical exercises between sessions so progress continues outside the appointment time.
