About Jennifer
Jennifer (Jen) Sherman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, and trauma. She also supports people facing identity and LGBT concerns, bipolar mood challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
Jen aims to make therapy approachable and down-to-earth so people can talk honestly about what’s hard for them. Her approach is interactive and warm.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and often include practical skills for managing anxiety and mood. Jen blends Jungian ideas about meaning and self-discovery with evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance strategies. She uses attachment-informed thinking to help people understand relationship patterns and build stronger connections.
Jen draws on 12 years of clinical experience from independent practice, university counseling, and work in grade schools. That background informs how she helps people build coping skills, improve communication, and recover from past hurt. She focuses on each person’s unique story rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
In sessions she aims to be honest, encouraging, and occasionally humorous. Clients can expect a respectful space that emphasizes empowerment and practical steps. She enjoys helping people find strengths they may not have noticed yet.
Outside work she reads widely and has two lively kids, so she knows the realities of juggling family life. Her lived perspective often shows up in how she helps people make changes that fit real schedules and responsibilities.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Jen combines Jungian therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online practice. Jungian therapy focuses on exploring personal meaning, symbols, and life stories to help people understand inner patterns and discover parts of themselves that feel missing. ACT teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that reflect personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and communication, helping people improve how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jen collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She often mixes approaches so sessions address both immediate coping skills and deeper personal exploration in a way that fits the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework questions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and make steady progress across sessions.
