About Sherline
Sherline Herard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, motivation problems, depression, and compassion fatigue. Sherline speaks English and Haitian Creole and focuses on practical support rather than labels.
Sherline frames clients as the experts on their own stories and highlights strengths people already have. In sessions she listens for what matters most, then helps people try approaches that fit their life. She uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning rather than long lectures.
Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches. Sherline uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thinking patterns. She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice what matters and take committed action despite difficult feelings.
Attachment-based ideas and elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy appear when relationship patterns are a concern. These approaches help people understand how past connections shape current responses and practice different ways of relating.
Sherline aims to make the process manageable. Sessions tend to focus on small, practical steps that fit daily life. To begin, she asks about what feels most urgent and what strengths the person can use right away.
How Sherline uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when guilt or shame keeps someone from living in line with what they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and important relationships shape current reactions and patterns. When relationship issues or repeated conflict appear, this perspective can help people recognize patterns and try different ways of connecting. Sherline treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. The plan can change as work progresses so it fits the person's needs and daily life. Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-based work to virtual meetings while focusing on practical steps and skills that transfer into everyday routines.Areas of expertise
