About Sheri

Sheri Hunt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, substance issues, and relationship or parenting strain. Sheri also lists codependency among her focus areas and helps people who feel stuck putting others first.

Sheri frames therapy around what people already know about their lives. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on existing strengths rather than starting from scratch. Sessions are practical and centered on clear goals that clients bring to the room.

Her approach draws on proven, skills-based methods. Sheri uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going, and DBT skills for managing strong emotions.

People who come to her often want help with boundary-setting, handling grief, reducing overwhelm, coping with addiction or managing mood swings. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when they show up in relationships. Sheri also addresses the specific stresses of parenting and the long-term effects of trauma or domestic violence.

Sessions are straightforward and focused on what a person can do next. Sheri’s practice favors concrete tools, short exercises, and repeated skill practice so clients can use what they learn between sessions. She works in English and her license is KY LCSW.

How sessions work

How Sheri’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small actions toward them, even when difficult feelings appear. It is useful for stress, codependency patterns, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sheri collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines exercises, skill practice, and brief home assignments so people can try tools between sessions and report back on what worked.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills in everyday settings soon after learning them. Licensed professionals can adapt activities for video or phone sessions depending on what the client prefers and what is offered.
