About Sherita

Sherita Dobbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and mood concerns. She approaches sessions with directness and warmth, meeting clients where they are and treating them with respect. Her style balances empathy with practical strategies to help people move forward.

She uses a mix of methods to suit each person’s needs. That can include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions.

Background and approach

She also uses emotionally-focused ideas and hypnotherapy when those methods fit. Her background includes work across mental health settings, inpatient and outpatient care, school settings, and hospice services. That variety informs how she adapts care to life changes, grief, trauma, and long-term mood challenges.

Sherita holds a Master of Science in Social Work and is licensed as an LCSW in Mississippi. Sessions with her emphasize clear goals and usable tools. She aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and recover from loss or trauma.

The focus is on workable steps rather than abstract talk. People can expect collaborative planning at the start of care. Sherita will listen to current needs, explain possible approaches, and suggest concrete strategies to try between sessions.

Her goal is steady progress and more effective ways of managing feelings and daily challenges.

Approaches for strong emotions and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects feelings, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs emotional support and a respectful space to talk.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build better habits. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and anger management because it produces concrete skills to use between sessions.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It offers step-by-step skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. These tools can be useful for people who want clearer ways to handle strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist work together to test what helps most and to build a plan that matches personal preferences and life demands.

Online therapy provides flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to use the format that feels most helpful.
