Dr. Sherry Bland, LCMHC

Dr. Sherry Bland is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life challenges. Dr. Bland aims to create a collaborative space where clients can talk through what matters and begin building practical ways to cope.

She has about 11 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of issues. These include trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleep and eating concerns, and career strain. Additional focuses include infidelity, veteran and armed forces issues, social anxiety, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach blends several methods to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered listening to understand priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that get in the way. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are used to develop short-term strategies and clearer daily routines.

Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. Dr. Bland and the client co-design steps to practice between meetings, such as thought records, short behavioral experiments, or mindfulness exercises. The work often focuses on small changes that add up to steadier mood and clearer choices.

People who like direct, supportive guidance tend to do well with her style. She emphasizes respect, practical skills, and consistent follow-through. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Bland commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that hurt relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple moments of focused attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust methods over time, blending skills like thought tracking, short experiments, and mindful check-ins until you find what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during workday breaks, or letting people choose whether to use video or voice when that suits them better. Licensed professionals aim to make appointments easier to schedule and follow up with practical tools to use between meetings.
