Carlie Sherman , LPC

Carlie Sherman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 11 years of experience across hospitals, crisis care, and private practice. She focuses her work on adults with ADHD and trauma while also addressing related concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, self-esteem, and family or workplace difficulties.

Her clinical stance is informed by a biopsychosocial perspective, attending to biological, psychological, and social contributors to a person’s difficulties. In practice she integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to help clients develop practical skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. She also has training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Anger Management to support trauma recovery and regulation work.

Raised with experiences in Catholic schooling and Southern Baptist traditions and now a practicing Buddhist, she brings an awareness of spiritual and cultural influences into her therapeutic work. A committed lifelong learner, her current emphasis is on healing and educating adults with ADHD and trauma, with the goal of empowering people to build greater resilience and lead more satisfying lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Healing

In her practice, Carlie Sherman commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based strategies to support change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and attention-related challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and lessen their emotional impact, often used for post-traumatic symptoms and abuse-related distress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can improve emotion regulation, stress tolerance, and concentration.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, assess needs, and try approaches that fit the client’s preferences and life circumstances, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. This partnership helps tailor treatment to what is most helpful for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and help clients maintain continuity of care from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver many of the same evidence-informed techniques remotely, making it possible to work toward meaningful goals in ways that fit a client’s routine and comfort level.
