About Sherri

Sherri Brothers is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience supporting people facing relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She works with individuals and families affected by the child welfare system and has particular experience with adoption and foster care concerns, family of origin issues, and grief. Using a strengths-oriented stance, she helps clients clarify goals and build practical skills to address stress, self-esteem, mood concerns, and intimacy-related challenges.

Sherri draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Her training includes a master’s degree with a focus on marriage and family therapy, and she has spent much of her career in a local social service agency setting.

She welcomes clients of all races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities, and emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and motivation work to make productive use of session time.

Clients who choose her can expect a practical, empathetic approach that honors individual strengths while addressing concrete problems like communication breakdowns, adjustment difficulties, sleep and anger concerns, and career or compassion fatigue issues.

Remote Care Using CBT and Mindfulness-Based Tools

Sherri often integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption, offering concrete exercises and homework to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation when stress or grief feels overwhelming.

Finding the best approach is collaborative; the therapist will review concerns, preferences, and goals together to determine which methods fit best and can be adjusted over time. Clients are invited to share what feels most useful so that sessions remain goal-oriented and tailored to real-life challenges.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which helps accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations and allow for flexible scheduling when life and work demands change.
