Background and approach

Sherrie aims to support clients as they navigate life transitions, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed methods with client-centered listening.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside emotion-focused and mindfulness-based techniques, adapting methods to the client’s goals and preferences. Whether addressing communication problems, attachment or adoption-related issues, blended family dynamics, or the fallout from separation and domestic violence, she prioritizes collaboration and clear goals.

Sherrie offers flexible online formats and guides clients through early steps toward change, helping them build coping skills and make steady progress toward a more fulfilling life.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapy and Emotional Change

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with more constructive ways of thinking and behaving. This approach can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping during life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore feelings while the therapist provides empathy and support to guide personal insight and decision making.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to consider their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, combining techniques when appropriate so the plan aligns with what feels most helpful and realistic for the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access therapy from home or work. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skill-building work to these formats to support steady progress and stronger daily coping skills.
