About Pamela Sherwin
Pamela Sherwin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience supporting individuals and families through transitions and emotional challenges. She helps clients recognize existing strengths, build practical coping skills, and make choices that promote greater contentment and resilience. Pamela draws on an array of approaches that emphasize present-moment coping as well as identifying past issues that may still be affecting current functioning.
Her work often focuses on manageable, client-led changes - whether through small steps or larger shifts - always calibrated to the pace each person prefers. She incorporates practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior strategies, along with assertiveness training and boundary-setting, to help clients expand their toolkit for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and addiction-related concerns. Pamela also considers lifestyle factors and self-care decisions when appropriate, leaving final choices to the client.
She pays attention to the broader context of a person’s life, including family background, cultural values, and life events such as illness, divorce, moving, or the unique stresses of a public health crisis. Pamela has experience across the adult lifespan and values learning from each client’s individual story while inviting ongoing feedback throughout the counseling process.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Pamela Sherwin commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), each adapted to remote formats. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more constructive alternatives - it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. DBT emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - it can help with intense emotions, relationship challenges, and self-destructive patterns. ACT centers on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility so clients can pursue meaningful actions even when difficult feelings are present.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Pamela works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors techniques so they fit each person’s life and circumstances. Together they experiment and adjust methods to discover the best therapeutic fit.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods. These options allow clients to access skilled, licensed professionals from locations that work best for them while continuing focused therapeutic work.
