Sherry Coleman, LCPC

Sherry Coleman is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with addictions, relationship stress, motivation and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing family problems, life changes, and issues around boundaries and confidence.

She uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. Conversations are practical and aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable. People who feel stuck around someone else's drinking, people-pleasing habits, or unclear limits can expect direct discussion about what is getting in the way of their goals.

Her work draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness approaches. That means sessions often include noticing unhelpful patterns, trying new behaviors, and practicing ways to tolerate difficult emotions without giving up important values. Clients may do short behavioral experiments between meetings to test what works in real life.

Sherry also uses elements of Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide how she listens and to teach practical skills for managing stress and strong emotions. She helps people develop clearer boundaries, plan for life transitions, and build steady routines that reduce anxiety and isolation.

Sessions are in English and based in Illinois. The focus is on helping each person decide what matters to them and then taking concrete steps toward those priorities. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work might fit their situation.
