She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches alongside emotionally-focused strategies and hypnotherapy when appropriate.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients set the pace and priorities. People who reach out can expect a focus on dignity and respect. Sherita draws on years of clinical work to help clarify problems and build coping plans.
Her approach aims to reduce distress and increase functioning over time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete tools to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when strong emotions disrupt daily life.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people connect face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins or written support between sessions and can fit into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency and keep working toward goals from different locations or routines.
