About Sherri
Sherri Burkert is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with 13 years of clinical experience. She entered the mental health field two decades ago and has worked across inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and crisis intervention settings.
Sherri focuses on stress and anxiety among many other concerns and aims to create a welcoming space for people to talk through what feels most urgent. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with substance use issues, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and trauma-related concerns. This variety of settings gives her a practical sense of how treatment can look in different stages of recovery. Sherri uses a client-centered style that emphasizes collaboration.
She partners with clients to set clear goals and checks progress along the way. That means sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and real-life skills rather than abstract theories. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to support emotional regulation and change-minded work. Sessions can include skill practice, problem solving, and short-term strategies for coping. People looking for flexible session formats can work with her through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She conducts sessions in English and practices from Ohio as an LPCC.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Sherri commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness approaches in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness in stressful moments.She sees finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit those needs. Techniques can be adjusted over time based on what the client finds most useful.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can serve as brief check-ins, skill practice, or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options help people keep consistency and practice skills between sessions.
