How sessions work
CBT-informed online work for everyday family life
Dr. Sherman uses cognitive-behavioral approaches that focus on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and mood. CBT strategies often include breaking down worries into manageable steps, testing unhelpful beliefs with small experiments, and building routines to improve sleep and daily functioning. This style is commonly used for anxiety, panic symptoms, OCD-related behaviors, depression, and sleep difficulties.She also applies CBT techniques to parenting support by teaching straightforward behavior-management skills and stepwise plans parents can try at home. These techniques focus on clear expectations, consistent responses, and practice-based coaching to reduce disruptive behaviors and lower household stress.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will help identify which methods fit the client's goals and daily life, then adapt techniques as progress is reviewed. Clients and the therapist work together to set measurable goals and choose practices that are realistic for home and family routines.
