Sherita Dobbins, LCSW

Sherita Dobbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of practice. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing mood challenges like depression and bipolar disorder. She also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, relationship strain, parenting stresses, ADHD, and major life transitions.

Her style is warm and client-centered. She listens without judgement and meets people where they are. Sherita is direct when needed and aims to be practical and respectful in sessions.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, emotionally focused ideas, and hypnotherapy techniques when those fit a person’s goals. Sessions tend to mix skill teaching with problem solving and emotional processing.

Sherita has worked in mental health settings including inpatient and outpatient care, schools, and hospice programs. That range has shaped how she supports people through grief, trauma, and life-stage concerns such as aging and end-of-life matters.

People can expect a collaborative plan that focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Sherita aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and find a clearer sense of purpose. She works with English-speaking clients in Mississippi and also accepts international clients.

Working with evidence-informed approaches online

Sherita commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and practice new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include simple homework and concrete skill practice between meetings. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through feelings and decide their own next steps.

She will work with each person to find the right mix of methods rather than insisting on a single approach. Together they review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process helps match skills and strategies to an individual’s needs and preferences.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work and skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy days.
