About Sheri
Sheri Dudley is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and the effects of trauma. She brings 18 years of experience and a calm, steady approach to conversations about anger, anxiety, stress, and parenting concerns. She uses plain talk and practical steps in sessions.
Sheri builds a respectful space where people can name what they are feeling and try new ways of responding. She emphasizes listening first and then working together on changes that fit real life.
Background and approach
Her experience includes supporting people managing the impacts of trauma and abuse. She also helps with attention and focus challenges often labeled ADHD, and with the day-to-day stress that makes parenting harder. Sheri draws on several therapeutic ways of working.
She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Somatic and trauma-focused tools are added when past experiences are affecting the body and daily functioning.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Sheri encourages small experiments between sessions, like brief behavior changes or new routines, so progress can be measured and adjusted. She aims to help people move from reacting out of habit to choosing responses that match their values and goals.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead, listening closely, and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and choose goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skillwork to reduce anxiety and manage anger. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring their own reasons and building internal motivation.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, then adjusts based on how things go. That means the plan can shift over time, mixing different techniques to match goals, comfort, and progress.
Online therapy offers several ways to connect that fit different needs. Video calls give a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less data and work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
