About Jennifer
Jennifer (Jen) Sherman helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, and identity questions. She also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes. Jen aims to make the first conversations straightforward and practical so people know what to expect.
Her approach is interactive and down-to-earth. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach coping skills and manage difficult emotions.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect present patterns. Existential perspectives help people consider meaning, values, and choices when life feels uncertain. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace.
Jen listens, asks direct questions, and works with each person to set small goals. People often practice new ways of handling stress between sessions and check in about what works. She keeps the tone honest and occasionally light; humor can be part of the work when it helps.
Her background includes 12 years of clinical experience in independent practice, university counseling, and schools in North Carolina. She holds the LCMHC credential, which is the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor designation in North Carolina. That experience informs work with trauma, mood disorders, family-related concerns, and behavior issues.
Outside the office she reads history and science fiction and spends time with her two children. She aims to build a steady, motivating space where people can practice new skills and explore what matters to them.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, values, and personal choice when life feels confusing or empty; it can be useful for major life changes, grief, and questions about identity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and on taking actions that match personal values, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns show up now and supports building healthier ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily struggles, and preferred ways of working. Together they decide which methods to try, adjust techniques over time, and track what helps most so therapy stays practical and tailored.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter updates that fit a work break or a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep a steady schedule and practice new skills in everyday life.
