About Sherida
Sherida Newmister is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. She practices from Indiana and combines practical skill-building with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach. Sherida focuses on helping people find clearer thinking and healthier ways to cope when life feels overwhelming.
She uses a mix of methods that match each person's needs, including cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and client-centered methods that follow the person's pace.
Background and approach
Sherida also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and uses EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when trauma or strong emotions are present. Sherida aims to work together with clients as a team. Sessions often include setting small goals, practicing new coping skills, and talking through difficult feelings.
She gives straightforward suggestions and homework when useful, and adapts pace so people feel supported rather than rushed. Many people seek her help for relationship strain, addiction concerns, mood disorders, panic, or problems with self-worth and isolation. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, career transitions, and challenges tied to communication or impulsivity.
Sherida offers sessions via video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those who choose to start will complete a short questionnaire to match with her and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions tied to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used when trauma memories or intense distress are present to reduce the emotional charge tied to those memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sherida will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they try an approach and adjust as needed rather than committing to a single pathway from the start.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Messaging and chat offer flexible ways to stay connected between sessions or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
