About Sherline

Sherline Herard is a licensed counselor practicing in Florida who centers therapy on collaborative, strengths-based work. Drawing on Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-informed methods, she helps clients explore internal parts and patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and depression.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes client expertise in their own life and builds practical skills to increase motivation, confidence, and emotional resilience.

With five years of professional practice and credentials as an LPC and LMHC, Sherline addresses a broad range of concerns including relationship difficulties, compassion fatigue, and complex situations such as attachment issues, co-morbidity, and recovery after divorce or domestic violence.

She also works with personality-related challenges and communication or control problems, offering therapeutic tools grounded in ACT, CBT, and client-centered principles. Sherline communicates in both English and Haitian Creole and aims to support clients who are ready to take a courageous step toward more fulfilling daily life.

Bringing evidence-based approaches to online counseling

Sherline integrates Internal Family Systems to help people explore and relate to the different parts of themselves, guiding clients to notice internal roles and reduce internal conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build psychological flexibility, offering practical exercises for coping with anxiety, stress, and difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses relational patterns and helps clients understand how early connections influence current relationships and communication difficulties, which can be useful for work on trust and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Sherline works together with clients to assess goals, preferences, and immediate needs, and adapts techniques from different models to fit each person’s situation rather than applying a single formula. This collaborative planning aims to help clients feel seen and involved in shaping their care.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote access. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between sessions, while allowing clients to connect from locations that suit them.
