Sherrita Ried, LCMHC

Sherrita Ried is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) practicing in North Carolina with six years of counseling experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, grief, parenting stress, and changes in life circumstances. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.

She uses straightforward, person-centered methods that focus on connection and practical tools. That means listening to what matters to the client and then trying approaches that fit their situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques appear alongside emotionally-focused and mindfulness practices when they seem useful.

Sherrita draws on an earlier career in nursing to notice how emotional pain can go unspoken. Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling from Wake Forest University. Those experiences shaped a practice that pays attention to patterns from the family people grew up in and how those patterns show up now.

In sessions she helps people identify repeating roles and expectations learned in childhood and work toward clearer boundaries and communication. Practical steps and skill practice are part of the work, such as learning ways to manage anxiety, navigate intimate conflicts, or cope with grief.

People who contact her can expect a direct, steady approach that balances listening with concrete strategies. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and schedule through the platform’s matching and scheduling process.
