About Sherida
Sherida Newmister is a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience helping people navigate strong emotions and life changes. She works with adults on issues like stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and anger. Her style is direct and compassionate; she meets people where they are and helps them set realistic goals.
Sherida keeps sessions practical. She helps clients name their feelings, spot unhelpful thinking, and try new behaviors that fit their values.
Background and approach
She often combines tools from cognitive behavioral approaches with mindfulness and acceptance strategies to build skills for everyday life. Clients who come with trauma or intense emotional reactions may also work with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing techniques when appropriate. Sherida also draws on dialectical behavior strategies for managing distress and improving emotional regulation.
She emphasizes teamwork in therapy. The therapist and client decide together what to try and how to track progress. Sherida highlights strengths people already have and uses those strengths to support change.
Sherida practices in Indiana and offers sessions that fit different needs, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her approach is flexible and oriented toward real-world change, whether someone needs short-term coaching or longer-term support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sherida commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions feel overwhelming. ACT emphasizes practical actions rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate difficult feelings.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that change outcomes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherida collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn't helping and adjusts the plan together.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferable. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for people who want ongoing support between appointments or who prefer writing over talking. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match daily routines and real-world needs.
