About Sherri
Sherri Burkert is an Ohio LPCC with 13 years of counseling experience. She practices from a client-centered viewpoint and lists concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, ADHD, and codependency.
She trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling and has worked across inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and crisis intervention settings. That background means she has seen people at different stages of recovery and in different kinds of clinical work.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and ways to track progress. Sessions are collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as needed. She uses practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and behavior changes.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her approach. Mindfulness practices are used to help notice thoughts and reactions without judgment. Motivational interviewing is used to explore readiness for change when clients feel stuck.
People come for help with addictions, caregiver stress, communication problems, intimacy issues, postpartum mood concerns, and other life changes. She names specific topics such as infidelity, grief, and seasonal mood shifts. The writing and tone are straightforward: she encourages people who want to work on change to begin a focused process.
To start, prospective clients follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps. Sessions are offered in English and Sherri does not accept international clients at this time.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Sherri draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to shape practical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and codependency patterns. DBT supplies skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful when people struggle with relationship conflicts or impulsive behaviors.She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing elements to support change. Mindfulness helps people notice automatic reactions and build awareness. Motivational interviewing helps clarify personal reasons for change and strengthens commitment when someone feels stuck. Choosing which methods to use is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm current online session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in may suit a lunch-hour break, or a phone option can work when video would be difficult. The focus is on practical ways to bring therapeutic strategies into everyday routines rather than on promising a specific format.
