About Jennifer

Jennifer (Jen) Sherman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, identity and LGBT-related issues, bipolar mood concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes.

Jen’s style is direct and personable. She aims for honest, interactive sessions that still make room for a little humor.

Background and approach

Her goal is to create a nonjudgmental space where people can feel heard and begin to build coping skills and clearer goals. She draws from several practical approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior techniques, and acceptance and commitment ideas. These methods are used to teach coping skills, manage intense emotions, and help people act in line with what matters to them.

Jen has about 12 years of clinical experience gathered in independent practice, university counseling, and grade school settings. That range informs how she helps with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-focused concerns, and behavior issues that affect daily life. Outside of work she enjoys reading and family time with her two children.

She aims to help clients notice strengths they already have and to practice small, steady changes that add up over time.

Online support

Practical approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take committed action toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings show up. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication, which helps when strong reactions or relationship problems are common.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and circumstances shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows fuller interaction and skill demonstrations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, brief live chat or text messaging can work well for quick check-ins or skill reinforcement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
