About Sherri

Sherri O'Lonergan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with two decades of clinical experience. She draws on a range of trauma-informed and evidence-based methods to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses attachment concerns, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, and struggles with guilt, shame, and self-worth. Sherri emphasizes building a nonjudgmental, open therapeutic relationship where clients can explore thoughts and emotions safely.

She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside EMDR and somatic methods when appropriate, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and goals. Many clients seek her help for life transitions, mood concerns, pregnancy and childbirth-related issues, or questions about sexuality and women’s health.

With a collaborative stance and practical focus, she supports people as they take steps toward clearer perspective and more satisfying daily functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Sherri frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to improve mood and coping, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is an approach that works with memories and the body’s response to traumatic events to reduce distress linked to past experiences.

She also uses client-centered principles to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients guide much of the conversation. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Sherri partners with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, symptoms, and comfort level, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and preferences. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work on symptoms, relationships, and life transitions from different locations, and to pick the communication style that feels most effective for each client.
