Amy Sherman , LMHC

Amy Sherman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 21 years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in counseling and psychology from Vermont College and brings a long-standing commitment to helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, anger, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating challenges, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, and other life changes.

Her work addresses a broad range of additional concerns including communication problems, coping after natural or human-caused disasters, divorce and separation, domestic violence, forgiveness, questions about life purpose, midlife transitions, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and issues affecting women. She takes an individualized approach that prioritizes personal growth and practical skill-building while honoring each person’s dignity and goals.

Her therapeutic style blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and rational-emotive methods, and she also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices as appropriate. Amy collaborates with people to clarify a realistic vision for the future, identify underlying obstacles, and develop concrete tools to move from where they are now toward where they want to be. She focuses on measurable progress and supports clients in building renewed energy, resilience, and direction.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Sessions

Amy Sherman commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding, and building a collaborative relationship so clients can explore their goals and find their own solutions. This approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

She also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is effective for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping skills development.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another tool she employs for clients wishing to improve attachment and communication in close relationships. EFT helps partners and individuals understand emotional patterns and strengthen connections.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Amy collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts her approach as progress evolves.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and connect with a licensed professional from a convenient location.
