About Katherine

Dr. Katherine Sherman is a clinical psychologist licensed in Florida. She has a Ph.D. from the University of Florida and ten years of professional experience. Her work often focuses on sleep and rest alongside common concerns such as stress and anxiety.

She uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and routines. Sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practicing new skills, and trying small changes between meetings. This approach is often used to address insomnia, worry, mood changes, and habits that interfere with daily life.

Dr. Sherman commonly supports people dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, and mood-related concerns. She also helps those coping with chronic illness, chronic pain, and related medical stress. Her practice includes work on specific problems like phobias, panic, social anxiety, and trichotillomania.

She describes her style as warm and open-minded. Meetings tend to be collaborative and goal oriented, with an emphasis on strategies that can be practiced at home. Parents may be offered coaching focused on behavior management and routines to reduce conflict.

Dr. Sherman is based in Florida and offers care in English. People who are outside the United States are not currently accepted. To begin, prospective clients follow the site intake process to match and schedule sessions.

How CBT-based care works online

Dr. Sherman uses cognitive behavioral therapy in a hands-on way, focusing on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and daily routines. CBT sessions teach practical skills such as sleep routines, thought-challenging, and gradual behavior changes to reduce worry and improve rest. These strategies are often helpful for insomnia, anxiety, mood concerns, and repetitive behaviors.

The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to choose methods that fit the client’s lifestyle and needs rather than following a fixed plan.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins. It can also support focused skill practice between sessions, brief problem-solving conversations, or step-by-step work on sleep routines and parenting strategies depending on how sessions are arranged.
