How CBT and Online Sessions Work Together

Dr. Sherman primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that reduce worry, improve mood, and help with sleep and daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose and adapt techniques based on goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work in real time and practice tools with guided feedback. Phone sessions can be a good option when a quick conversation or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, between-session coaching, and flexible communication when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while using CBT methods and skill-building.
