About Sherie
Sherie Dechter helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, parenting strain, and questions about identity and self-worth. She is Sherie Dechter, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience in California. Her approach aims to make difficult problems feel more manageable and understandable.
She uses straightforward, practical methods so people can try new ways of coping right away. Sherie focuses on building a calm, respectful space where a person’s concerns are heard.
How Sherie works
She listens for what matters most and works together with the person to set clear goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what someone can handle in the moment. Her toolbox includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Imago relationship ideas, and client-centered methods.
Sherie blends these approaches to fit the person and the problem rather than sticking to a single method. That means therapy can include mindfulness skills, behavior changes, and attention to past attachments when useful. With long experience in caregiving, adoption and foster care topics, and fertility and family-origin difficulties, Sherie brings a broad perspective to life transition and parenting challenges.
She also helps with career concerns, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety. She explains options plainly and practices skills during sessions so people can use them between meetings. Sessions are available by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging.
Sherie works with each person to match therapy style and format to their needs and goals.

Online support options
Approach-focused care delivered online
Sherie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters, and take manageable steps toward a meaningful life. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and to build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy guides the work as well, keeping sessions grounded in empathy and the person’s own goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sherie works together with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts methods over time, checking in about what helps and what does not, so treatment stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow flexible scheduling, shorter check-ins when needed, and ways to connect without being on camera. The variety makes it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in everyday life.
