About Sherilyn

Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational techniques offer simple practices for staying grounded and finding motivation to change. Sherilyn has six years of clinical experience and has worked in community and school settings. That background shapes her approach to real-life problems like parenting strain, family conflict, young adult transitions, and work stress.
She pays attention to cultural and identity concerns, including LGBT issues and multicultural challenges. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Sherilyn helps people build small skills they can use between meetings, such as breathing exercises, thought records, or brief behavioral experiments.
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, anger, compulsive behaviors, and ADHD-related struggles. Her practice in Hawaii means she draws on local context when it helps the conversation. People can expect calm, direct support aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable and at finding clearer next steps.
How Sherilyn’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts with listening and making space for what matters to the person. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps set personal goals, and supports people as they try new strategies in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and for managing stress with concrete exercises like thought records and behavioral experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sherilyn will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match the client’s needs. The process is collaborative and can shift if something is not helping.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can fit into a short break or low bandwidth situations, and live chat or text work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family life.
