Carlie Sherman , LPC

Carlie Sherman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who blends practical therapy with calm, direct guidance. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and attention challenges. Carlie has 11 years of experience across hospitals, crisis settings, and private practice in Georgia.

She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. Conversations often look at how thoughts, behaviors, and environment interact. Clients learn simple tools to reduce overwhelm, improve sleep, and handle workplace or relationship strain.

Carlie also uses EMDR, a technique aimed at easing the hold of painful memories, alongside mindfulness practices that teach grounding and present-moment awareness. These approaches are used to address trauma, depression, and compassion fatigue in adults. She pays attention to cultural background and identity when those factors matter in care.

Her work includes coaching elements to help people make practical changes, from organizing routines for ADHD to improving communication at work. Carlie can support people navigating guilt, shame, isolation, or issues common in young adulthood and the workplace. She also lists women's issues among her focus areas and brings that perspective into sessions when relevant.

Carlie describes herself as a lifelong learner with experience in varied faith backgrounds, which informs a respectful, curiosity-driven style. She invites people who are ready to take steps toward better daily functioning and clearer next moves to begin the process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and workplace stress. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used to reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories and can be offered when trauma work is needed. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment coping, which can support stress, compassion fatigue, and attention challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, symptoms, and comfort level. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new needs arise.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, or when travel is difficult, while still allowing licensed professionals to guide skills practice and progress tracking.
