About Shemeram
LCSW in California with 7 years' experience, Shemeram 'Shari' Lachin focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She works with adults to address these issues and related challenges such as family of origin problems, abandonment, attachment difficulties, and substance concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Shari uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a solution-oriented style. She helps people identify what is keeping them stuck and develops practical steps to change patterns. In sessions she listens for patterns in relationships, coping, and communication, then tests small adjustments to improve daily functioning.
Her work addresses many relationship-related themes without running couples or family therapy unless those specific services are arranged. She offers focused support for people dealing with identity-related stress, past abuse, or ongoing anxiety. First responder issues and adoption or foster-care-related concerns are also within her stated focus areas.
Shari brings concrete problem-solving to topics such as codependency, commitment struggles, communication problems, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people facing divorce or separation and those coping with drug and alcohol addiction.

How evidence-based practices guide online sessions
Shari uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with small, testable changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method helps when symptoms are driven by repetitive thoughts and avoidance.Another approach emphasizes processing the impact of past trauma and abuse in manageable steps. That work helps people recognize how past events affect current relationships and daily functioning, and it includes gradual skills for regulation and safety.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shari works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and current needs. She reviews options and adjusts methods as progress is tracked.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know whether sessions will be by video, phone, or another method. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so work or caregiving breaks are simpler to manage.
