About Sheri
Sheri Sim uses a person-centered approach that emphasizes acceptance and practical change. She combines methods that focus on values, behavior change, and emotional processing to help people navigate hard moments. Sheri is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience.
She practices in Illinois and offers care in English. Sheri aims to provide steady, nonjudgmental support while also offering clear feedback. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that make daily life easier.
How Sheri works
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking. Her background includes work in inpatient hospital care, partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient settings. That range of experience informs how she helps people manage crises, long-term concerns, and life changes.
Sheri also holds a Certificate in Alcohol and Drug Counseling for Illinois. Typical issues she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and parenting strains. Additional focuses include communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, self-love, and social anxiety.
She also supports people facing bipolar disorder and ADHD challenges. Sessions aim to combine empathy with direction. Sheri offers honest, practical feedback so people can move toward clearer goals.
The work is collaborative: clients and therapist try approaches together and adjust as needed.

Online support options
Approach-driven care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions in relationships and helps people notice patterns that affect closeness and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheri will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That team approach means techniques are adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, quick check-ins work well over text, and live chat lets someone write through thoughts in the moment. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
