Dr. Herring’s work with children is best described as family therapy. Some of the issues that she treats are behavior problems, emotional outbursts, anxiety, sibling conflict, and poor peer relations. First, she attempts to provide the child and caregiver(s) a shared understanding of the problem and desired goals. She then works with the child to develop the needed skills to address the problem. Finally, she works with caregivers or other family members so that they are able to address problems more constructively at home or school.
