About Scott
Scott Herman is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three years of practice experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns that often arise at home and work. He lists family and parenting among his areas of focus along with relationship and intimacy-related issues.
Scott works in straightforward talk. He listens first, then helps people break problems into manageable steps. That can mean learning ways to reduce anxious thoughts, handling grief, or finding steadier responses to anger. He also supports people coping with life changes and with attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
In sessions he adapts the conversation to each person’s situation. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and stress. Practical tools and short-term strategies are combined with time to process difficult memories, including trauma and abuse.
Scott also supports those dealing with family problems, communication breakdowns, and parenting strain. He pays attention to how everyday routines, money worries, and workplace pressures affect mood and relationships. He speaks English and Spanish and practices from Illinois.

How sessions work
Approaches used in online work and how they help
Scott uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common struggles such as anxiety, depression, and stress. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this involves structured conversations and practical exercises to spot and test those thoughts. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for emotional regulation and coping - teaching small, repeatable strategies for anger, overwhelm, and day-to-day stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Scott will review your goals, preferences, and situation and suggest which techniques to try first. He adjusts the plan as needed based on what helps and what doesn’t, so the process stays collaborative rather than fixed.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy home life, let you check in during a short break, or avoid travel time. It can also let a therapist continue supporting progress between major life changes. If you need a particular session length or setting to make therapy practical, mention that in the matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect your needs.
