About Sherrita
Sherrita Ried is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with six years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
She draws on client-centered ideas to keep conversations focused on what matters to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness practices are offered to support emotion regulation and coping skills.
Her background includes earlier work in nursing and a master’s degree in counseling. That clinical and health-care experience shaped an interest in grief, trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family issues. She also lists experience with LGBT concerns, adoption and foster care, and complex relationship challenges.
In sessions she helps people name problems, try small experiments, and build specific skills they can use at home. Practical communication strategies and steps for handling loyalty conflicts or co-parenting stress are part of that work. The focus is on clear, achievable changes rather than abstract theory.
Clients are invited to set goals and monitor progress over time. The approach is collaborative: the therapist and client decide together which techniques fit best and what to try next.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Sherrita uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in ways that fit a client’s goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them and make their own choices. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their needs and try methods that suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether more CBT exercises, DBT skills practice, or a client-centered check-in will be most useful at any given time.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which online session formats she uses, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Online work still centers on setting clear goals, practicing skills between sessions, and tracking progress in ways that match a client’s daily life.
