About Sherry

Dr. Sherry Bland welcomes clients seeking help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and a range of other life concerns.

Background and approach

She practices from North Carolina and brings 11 years of clinical experience as an LCMHC, combining practical strategies with empathic support to address issues such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Her style blends several psychotherapeutic methods to match each person’s needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, client-centered techniques to build trust and collaboration, and mindfulness practices to strengthen present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused elements help clients clarify goals and take actionable steps toward change.

Dr. Bland emphasizes a collaborative relationship where ideas are exchanged and a personalized plan of action is developed to build skills, express emotions, and move toward a renewed perspective.

She describes herself as approachable and easy to talk to, which supports the therapeutic work. Prospective clients can expect a practical, goal-oriented process that still respects individual experience and pace.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Bland commonly integrates cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered principles to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens attentively and partners with the client to clarify goals and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in about progress and adjusting techniques as therapy evolves to ensure the work remains useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care during life changes and to choose the communication style that supports a client's engagement and growth.
