About Carlie
Carlie Sherman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing ADHD and trauma-related concerns. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people build habits that make daily life easier.
Carlie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change unhelpful behaviors. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma memories are getting in the way of day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear skills, short experiments, and gradual steps toward goals. Her background includes work in hospitals, crisis care, and independent practice. That variety shaped a flexible approach to common problems like anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and workplace stress.
She also addresses issues such as impulsivity, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and feeling isolated. Carlie names multicultural awareness and LGBT concerns among her focus areas, and she brings attention to how culture and identity affect coping and relationships. She also helps with commitment and communication problems and with challenges specific to young adults and women.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Carlie uses brief, concrete interventions alongside longer-term planning. Many people find that breaking big problems into small actions helps build momentum and reduce overwhelm.
How her approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change patterns of thought and behavior that cause stress or keep problems going. Online sessions focus on practical exercises, homework tasks, and step-by-step plans that translate well to video and messaging formats.EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used to reduce the intensity of distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation. When EMDR is part of work online, sessions include careful pacing, stabilization skills, and clear planning so clients can proceed at a comfortable rate.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Online practice can include short guided exercises during video calls or audio prompts sent between sessions to support daily practice.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in day-to-day life. From there she suggests options, tests what works, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation for skills practice and EMDR processing. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, and follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent work toward goals despite a busy schedule.
