Carlie Sherman, LPC

Carlie Sherman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who blends practical skills with a thoughtful, person-centered approach. She uses clear techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD challenges, and the effects of trauma. Her style is straightforward and focused on small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life.

With 11 years of experience in hospitals, crisis care, and private practice, she brings both emergency-room calm and long-term planning to sessions. Carlie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness methods, and EMDR to address distressing memories, unhelpful thinking patterns, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. She often pairs skill practice with brief coaching to support change between sessions.

Carlie pays attention to how biology, thinking, and social life interact. That means she looks at habits, thought patterns, relationships, and routine when helping someone make a plan. She also helps with workplace stress, communication problems, isolation and issues common to young adults and women.

Her work can include coping skills for panic or social anxiety, tools to manage impulsivity, and strategies to reduce compassion fatigue. Carlie supports people navigating LGBT concerns, multicultural issues, and the emotional side of family problems without assuming one single solution fits all.

Clients who choose her can expect a collaborative process that focuses on practical steps. She aims to educate and to empower, working at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

CBT teaches practical skills to change upsetting thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into small steps, uses simple homework, and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress-related problems. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories using guided attention techniques to reduce their emotional intensity, which can help people struggling after trauma. Mindfulness therapy builds attention and grounding skills through brief practices that reduce reactivity and improve everyday focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try techniques that match those needs. That choice is made together and can shift over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier and reduces travel time. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or low bandwidth needs, and messaging or chat supports brief questions and ongoing coaching between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
