About Sherrita

Sherrita Ried, LCMHC, offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions. She keeps sessions focused on what matters most and helps clients find clearer coping steps. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.

Sherrita trained in psychology and counseling and brings six years of professional counseling experience. She spent earlier years in nursing and carries that perspective into her work, noticing how emotional pain often goes unspoken.

Background and approach

That background shaped her commitment to making space for honest conversation. Her work centers on building trust and listening first. From there she helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of handling stress, anxiety, grief, or conflicts.

She uses techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and mindfulness so the plan fits each person’s needs. In sessions she focuses on practical tools you can use between meetings. That might include skills for managing strong feelings, steps to improve communication, or short exercises to shift negative thoughts.

She aims for steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sherrita practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. Many clients appreciate her direct, empathetic approach when working through relationship issues, parenting strain, career stress, trauma, or questions about identity and intimacy.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space so clients can share what matters most; online sessions use the same principle to let conversations unfold naturally. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns, which works well in short exercises during video or phone sessions.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through step-by-step practices. Those skills can be taught and practiced over video, phone, or messaging, with homework and check-ins between meetings. Sherrita will collaborate with each person to choose which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and comfort level, adjusting as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send shorter updates, ask quick questions, or work through exercises between scheduled sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, parenting, or other commitments.
