Background and approach
She studied marriage and family therapy in her master’s program and uses that foundation to understand how relationships and family patterns affect daily life. In sessions she starts by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She helps clients name goals and then chooses approaches that fit those goals.
Sessions often focus on skill-building for managing anxiety, improving communication, and handling grief or major life changes. Sherri uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful thinking and manage stress. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to support small, achievable steps toward change.
The emphasis is on practical strategies that can be tried between sessions. She welcomes people of all races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Sherri aims to identify strengths clients already have and help them apply those strengths to move forward.
If you want a clinician who listens and helps plan usable next steps, she can be a practical partner.
How Sherri Uses Practical Approaches Online
Sherri uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on clear exercises and small behavior changes that often produce noticeable improvements in mood and daily functioning.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help clients notice stress and anxiety without immediately reacting. Mindfulness skills can make it easier to manage strong emotions, improve sleep, and reduce rumination. Motivational interviewing is used when people feel stuck; it helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds momentum toward goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sherri treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you choose which methods fit your goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts the plan as you progress.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and interactive skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging allows shorter touchpoints and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
