About Sherline
Sherline Herard is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. Sherline speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and clear.
She centers her work on narrative ideas - helping people tell and reframe the stories they live by. That approach is paired with acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered care to keep sessions practical and grounded.
Background and approach
Sessions often include conversations about values, small goals, and noticing patterns that get in the way. Sherline also draws on attachment-focused work to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when clients want concrete tools for shifting thoughts and behaviors.
Together these methods help people handle things like communication struggles, commitment worries, and low confidence. She has supported people coping with complicated situations such as divorce, blended family stress, domestic violence, and disaster-related strain. Sherline also offers help for personality-related patterns and co-occurring problems when those are a focus for the person seeking support.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She invites people to identify what matters most to them and then works with them on practical steps toward those goals. The aim is clearer choices and more usable skills for everyday life.

Online session options
Approaches that translate well to online work
She frequently uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That approach helps when patterns feel stuck and someone wants to see their situation from a different angle. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another part of her work, focusing on identifying values and taking small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear; this is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy helps examine how early relationship patterns influence current bonds, which can be helpful for communication and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she will use narrative, ACT, attachment, or cognitive tools in ways that fit the client's needs and pace, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical options that fit different routines and needs. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when they want deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, skill practice, and flexible communication between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping focus on the goals discussed in sessions.
