Karen Sheerin, LCSW-R

Karen Sheerin is a New York-based therapist with 40 years of clinical experience. She holds the LCSW-R (Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered), a credential that reflects long-standing training and supervised clinical practice in social work. Over four decades she has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and self-esteem struggles, bringing steady professional expertise and compassion to each case.

Her work often focuses on life transitions and the practical challenges those changes bring. Sheerin addresses communication difficulties, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, and personal growth, and she pays particular attention to women's issues and workplace concerns. She also supports clients managing chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, and the complexities of aging and geriatric matters.

Therapeutically she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people develop clearer thinking patterns and actionable steps toward change. Her approach emphasizes self-love, healing from guilt and shame, and building effective coping strategies. She creates a respectful, empathetic environment where individuals can explore difficulties, rebuild confidence, and develop practical plans for improved emotional well-being.

Whether addressing relationship transitions, workplace stress, or a deeper search for meaning, Sheerin combines pragmatic clinical methods with a supportive stance to guide clients through change and recovery.
