About Sherrita
Sherrita Ried is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, or major life changes.
Background and approach
She works from the belief that every person deserves to feel seen and heard, and she creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore patterns, build practical skills, and pursue clearer emotional wellbeing. Her practice blends several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based approaches.
With six years of experience as an LCMHC in North Carolina, she draws on these tools to address concerns such as trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship issues, self-esteem and depression, burnout and compassion fatigue, and a range of other life stressors.
Sherrita’s background in healthcare shaped her awareness of unspoken emotional pain and reinforced a commitment to compassionate care. She aims to collaborate with clients to identify unhelpful patterns, develop coping strategies, and work toward sustainable change at a pace that fits each person’s goals and circumstances.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and respect for the client’s pace, helping people feel understood as they explore emotions and goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and then integrate methods such as CBT, DBT, or client-centered techniques in ways that make sense for the presenting concerns and the pace the client wants.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care across locations in North Carolina. These formats support flexible scheduling and allow therapists and clients to focus on skills, coping strategies, and healing conversations without requiring in-person visits.
