About Sheera
Sheera Scherman offers straightforward, compassionate support for people ready to make changes. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and life transitions. She aims to help clients build on what already works in their lives and find practical steps forward.
Sheera is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in New York with 18 years of psychotherapy experience. She uses a client-centered stance, meaning she listens closely and follows the person’s priorities.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help rethink unhelpful patterns and on trauma-focused methods when past events affect daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-world strategies. Conversations are direct but warm, with attention to strengths and small changes that add up.
Sheera helps people recognize patterns like codependency, impulsivity, or workplace stress and then try different habits to reduce their impact. Sheera also supports issues around relationships, parenting concerns, sexuality, grief, and career challenges. She speaks English and Hebrew and can work with international clients.
Her approach aims to be practical, collaborative, and paced to each person’s needs. To begin, she guides clients through assessing what matters most and choosing steps they can take between sessions. She frames therapy as a process of learning and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Sheera uses client-centered therapy to begin most relationships, which means she listens first and helps people set their own goals. That approach works well for people who want a therapist who follows their priorities and builds from their strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it can help with anxiety, mood concerns, panic, and everyday stress. Trauma-focused therapy is brought in when past events continue to affect day-to-day functioning, offering ways to process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on current life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sheera treats approach selection as collaborative - she will help you try methods and adjust based on what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
