Pamela Sherwin, LCSW

Pamela Sherwin is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience helping people make clearer choices and feel more content. She focuses on practical steps clients can take now to cope better and build on strengths they already have. Pamela works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, and addictions while also addressing family and self-esteem struggles.

Her approach centers on present-day coping and manageable change. She looks at what is working now and what past issues might still be using up a person’s energy. Pamela suggests small, doable actions and respects the pace each person prefers when trying something new.

Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy are used alongside mindfulness and some dialectical behavior therapy skills. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-informed perspectives when they fit a person’s needs. Pamela discusses lifestyle and self-care choices as part of the plan, leaving decisions up to the client.

She has experience with people across adulthood and has worked with diverse cultural and family backgrounds. Pamela welcomes feedback during the work so adjustments can be made as goals or life circumstances change.

Morning and afternoon appointments are available. People who want to start are invited to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange scheduling.

How Pamela’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters to you. It can help with stress, low mood, and situations where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape present patterns and can be useful for connection and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pamela treats deciding together as a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting the plan as progress and life events change.

Licensed professionals can guide you through selecting an approach and a session rhythm that suits your schedule and goals.
