About Jennifer
Jennifer (Jen) Sherman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, and trauma. She also supports those facing issues related to LGBT identity, bipolar mood challenges, self-esteem, anger, and big life changes. Jen aims to be an advocate, supporter, teacher, and encourager in sessions so clients feel heard and understood.
Her style is interactive and straightforward. Sessions are honest and often warm, with room for a sense of humor when it fits. Jen focuses on practical skills like coping strategies, anxiety reduction, and relationship skills that clients can use between appointments.
Jen often draws on cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, and acceptance-based ideas to tailor work to each person. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas also shape her focus on relationships and identity. She describes her work as empowering and motivating, aiming to help people recognize strengths and build self-esteem.
She has about 12 years of clinical experience gathered in independent practice, university counseling centers, and grade schools. That background informs her work with mood disorders, trauma, family concerns, and child behavior issues. Jen notes particular experience supporting transgender transitioning and LGBT-affirmative care.
Outside of work Jen reads widely and spends time with her two children. She typically schedules live sessions week-to-week and offers some evening and weekend slots to help clients find a steady appointment time.

How certain approaches are used in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the therapist's profile does not list formats explicitly. Online therapy can help make appointments fit busy lives by reducing travel time and making scheduling more flexible. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or make it easier to meet outside standard work hours. Talk with the therapist about scheduling needs and any adaptations that would help make sessions realistic and useful for day-to-day life.
