About Carlie

Carlie Sherman is an LPC with 11 years of clinical experience working across hospital settings, crisis care, and independent practice.

Background and approach

She centers treatment in cognitive behavioral therapy while integrating mindfulness practices and EMDR-informed techniques, bringing a biopsychosocial perspective that considers biological, psychological, and social contributors to a person’s struggles. Carlie emphasizes practical skills and psychoeducation to help clients manage symptoms and build sustainable coping strategies.

Her background includes focused work with adults navigating ADHD and trauma, and she also addresses a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related issues. Additional areas of attention include communication and commitment challenges, mood regulation concerns, multicultural issues, social anxiety, seasonal mood changes, workplace stress, and young adult transitions.

Based in Georgia and offering services in English, Carlie blends evidence-based interventions with a collaborative, educational approach aimed at helping clients identify goals and apply new tools to daily life. She accepts international clients and frames next steps around mutual fit and readiness to engage in therapy.

Online Tools and Evidence-Based Approaches

Carlie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to teach present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills useful for emotional distress and attentional challenges. She also brings EMDR-informed techniques to trauma work, applying structured processing methods aimed at reducing the intensity of trauma-related memories and associated reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carlie works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan over time so the therapeutic strategy fits each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different communication preferences, and maintain continuity of care across locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt techniques effectively in these formats to support progress toward agreed goals.
