About Sherri
Sherri O'Lonergan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience practicing in Colorado. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. Sherri aims to create a straightforward, calm space where someone can talk about what’s going on without pressure or judgement.
Her work often centers on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and depressive symptoms. She also helps people facing life changes such as divorce or pregnancy and childbirth transitions.
Background and approach
People come to her for help with attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about sexual identity or women's issues. Sherri uses a mix of practical tools and listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts.
Somatic Therapy brings attention to how the body holds stress and supports learning new ways to respond. For trauma-related concerns she draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce the hold of painful memories. She works at the client's pace and focuses on skills that can be used between meetings.
Sessions with Sherri usually involve setting clear goals, practicing coping strategies, and checking what feels useful. She supports people who want more self-compassion, clearer communication, or relief from recurring worry. The aim is steady progress and more control over day-to-day life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their priorities rather than a fixed plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behavior interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that match those needs. Decisions about using CBT, EMDR, somatic techniques, or trauma-focused work are made together and can change over time as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for someone who prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter, more frequent contact is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life without losing continuity of care.
