Sherol Ziegenbein, LCPC, LPC

Sherol Ziegenbein is a licensed clinician who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. She has two decades of experience in mental health and uses straightforward approaches to help people find more direction and hope.

She has worked with a wide range of people, including those experiencing homelessness and individuals with cognitive challenges. Much of her earlier work involved crisis intervention and supporting people affected by domestic violence and other traumatic events. That background informs how she responds to urgent or painful situations now.

Sherol draws on several practical methods in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to support values-based choices and to follow each person’s lead.

Relationship work is part of her practice through Emotionally-Focused and Imago approaches that focus on improving connection and communication. She also helps people with caregiver stress, blended family issues, grief from separation or divorce, and problems tied to chronic illness and pain.

Sessions aim to be calm and grounding. Sherol emphasizes mindfulness, helping people notice what matters and build small habits toward that goal. Her style is direct but compassionate, focused on practical steps that fit everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Sherol frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns in thoughts and behavior and then try small, concrete changes that can reduce stress and anxiety. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take steps toward a more meaningful life despite difficult feelings. These approaches work well for issues like anxiety, stress, coping with life changes, and attention difficulties.

Choosing the right method is a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and what feels most useful, then adjust approaches as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps match skills and exercises to real-life routines and challenges.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions and relationship work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can support quick check-ins and practice between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep regular momentum.
