How Sherri’s Approaches Work Online
Sherri uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and manage stress. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy adds brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and try tools to see what fits best. Together they adjust techniques based on progress and preference so sessions stay practical and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging lets clients use shorter, frequent check-ins and share updates between sessions. These options support flexibility and ongoing work toward goals.
