My curiosity about substance abuse and family systems sparked my interest in this field, leading me to study substance abuse counseling, which eventually deepened my passion for psychology.

Over the years, I’ve worked in Connecticut alongside DCF and the court systems. Since starting as a case manager in 1995, I’ve continued to grow and gain valuable experience in this ever-evolving field of psychology.

Life can be a lot. Between juggling work, friends and family life, anxiety and sadness can sneak up on you. Therapy isn’t about lying on a couch while someone silently nods, it’s about having a real convo with someone who gets it. Together, we’ll work together out how to quiet the noise, boost your mental health, and build habits that make life feel less like survival mode and more like you actually living it. Life throws curveballs — and when we don’t fully process them, they can sneakily pile up as stress, anxiety, or that heavy feeling you just can’t shake. That’s where therapy comes in.

My mission is simple: create a space where you can express yourself, shake off the weight you’ve been carrying, and explore who you’ve been, who you are, and who you want to become. A safe zone for real talk and growth. EMDR (a way of helping your brain re-file old memories so they don’t keep hitting the panic button), systems theory, person centered theory.

Therapy with me isn’t about lying on a couch in awkward silence. It’s modern, collaborative, sometimes even a little fun — because growth doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I’m open-minded yet structured and here to make the process feel less like a chore and more like a genuine reset.

For insurances I do not accept: Out of network provider: 4 questions to ask insurance representative: Does your plan include "out-of-network" coverage for mental health? What is your annual deductible for mental health benefits? What is your co-insurance? (What percentage does the plan cover?) Is there a limit on sessions?

Sherie Chapman

Sherie Chapman

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 29 years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges and transitions. Over the years, I have worked in schools, community programs, and private practice, and each setting has strengthened my belief in the resilience people carry, sometimes without even realizing it.

In my practice, I offer telehealth therapy for young adults and adults. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I bring a strengths-based and holistic lens to every session. I often integrate CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and gentle body-centered practices to help clients reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways.

At the heart of my work is creating a warm, grounded space where clients feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. I believe healing happens in relationships, and I’m honored to walk alongside the people I work with.
