About Sherrita
Sherrita Ried is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and relationship challenges. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly and start to make small, practical changes. Sherrita uses straightforward language and a steady presence to help people feel understood and seen.
She earned her bachelor's degree in psychology and later completed a master’s in counseling. Before counseling, she worked in nursing and saw how often emotional pain goes unspoken, which influenced her decision to move into mental health care. Sherrita brings six years of experience as an LCMHC in North Carolina and a broader background working with grief, trauma recovery, and life transitions.
In sessions she blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and skills-based work. That means conversations are led by the person while also building coping tools and new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. She draws on elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness to tailor a plan for each person.
Sherrita often helps people with intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, depression, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, blended family stress, chronic illness, and codependency. Her style is practical and collaborative, focused on helping people find clearer choices and steadier footing.
People who prefer a therapist who listens closely and offers concrete strategies may find her approach helpful. If you want a straightforward partnership to work through hard feelings and rebuild connection, she aims to be a steady ally through that process.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can guide the pace and topics of sessions. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their lead and reflects back what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when a person wants clear strategies to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that support people who struggle with intense feelings or relationship conflicts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical scheduling needs and what kind of session length or structure will work best for everyday routines.
