About Sherita
Sherita Dobbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Mississippi who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting struggles, mood concerns, and trauma. She brings 18 years of experience to her work and speaks with warmth and straightforward care. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at making small, useful changes that fit daily life.
She favors a client-centered style that begins with listening. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Background and approach
Sherita blends evidence-informed techniques so conversations lead to realistic tools for coping and communication. Her background includes clinical work across mental health settings and hospice. That variety shaped a flexible approach to problems like bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and grief.
Sherita also supports people navigating relationship and family challenges, aging and geriatric concerns, and life transitions. In sessions she is described as empathetic yet direct, aiming to treat people with dignity and respect. The work commonly includes goal-focused skill building such as stress management, emotion regulation, and improving communication.
Hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices are options when they fit a person’s goals. People beginning therapy can expect collaborative planning, straightforward suggestions, and regular check-ins on progress. Sherita works to create practical steps clients can try between meetings, then adjusts the plan as needs change.

How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions toward goals they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships; it is useful when strong emotions and impulsive reactions cause problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods to try and adjust them over time so the plan stays relevant to daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep building skills between sessions.
