About Sherrita
Sherrita Ried is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with six years of professional counseling experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as relationship issues, stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and grief. Sherrita also lists support for LGBT concerns, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue among her areas of work.
She uses straightforward, person-centered work that aims to make conversations clear and useful. Sessions tend to look at current patterns that cause pain and then identify concrete steps to change them. Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical methods drawn from cognitive and mindfulness-based tools.
Sherrita trained in counseling after an earlier career in nursing, which shaped how she notices unspoken emotional needs. That background informs her focus on helping people name difficult feelings and manage them in day-to-day life. She emphasizes developing tools people can actually use between sessions.
In practice she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help with mood, emotion regulation, and relationship patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas inform work around attachment and intimacy concerns. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow reactivity and build steadiness.
Her stated interest includes a range of specific issues such as abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and communication problems. People often come for help with parenting strain, grief, career transitions, or coping after trauma.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits
Sherrita commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and following the person's concerns so sessions reflect what matters most. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and relationship strain.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can be helpful when emotions feel intense or when patterns of reactivity keep getting in the way of parenting or relationships.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will help identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and will adjust strategies as needs change. Clients and therapist decide together how skills, exercises, and conversation are mixed.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, or use sessions as focused check-ins during a break. Some approaches, such as brief skills coaching or thought-restructuring exercises, adapt well to virtual sessions and can be practiced between meetings to support everyday life.
