Background and approach

Her work includes trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, attention and focus difficulties often labeled ADHD, and family-related stress. She helps people sort priorities, build coping skills, and notice patterns that keep problems going. Sheri mixes talk-based methods with hands-on techniques that connect the body and emotions.

This can help when anxiety is felt physically, or when painful memories create tension in day-to-day life. She also uses structured tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and set realistic goals. People who choose Sheri can expect a practical approach tailored to their needs.

She supports each person at their own pace and focuses on steps that fit their life. Her Tennessee license and long experience shape a steady, empathetic style that centers the client's priorities.

Therapeutic methods and online sessions that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It centers the client's goals and uses listening and reflection to help people feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decide on next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It provides practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce anxiety and improve focus. Trauma-focused therapy works directly with painful memories and their effects on daily life, combining talk and body-aware techniques to reduce the hold of past events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sheri works with each person to identify which methods feel most useful, and she adjusts the plan as needs and goals change. Clients help set priorities and choose the pace of work.

Online sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is an issue, and messaging or live chat lets people check in between meetings or use shorter sessions. These options increase flexibility so therapy can fit work, family routines, and busy days.
