About Sherri
Sherri Johnson is a licensed clinician in Maryland with 26 years of experience in behavioral health. She combines her medical degree and her LCSW-C perspective to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship struggles. She often works with clients facing anger, grief, trauma, and life transitions.
Sherri speaks plain, direct language and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Her sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
She learns what you want to change and which pressures are getting in the way. From there she and the client build a plan that fits day-to-day life. That plan can include skill practice, thought work, and communication strategies.
Sherri draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current behavior. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior tools are included when they match a client's needs and goals.
She also brings coaching-style support for career questions and motivation. Sessions can address specific concerns such as sleep, eating, parenting stress, addiction, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. Sherri aims to be respectful and compassionate while keeping the work focused and useful.
Sherri offers sessions in English and works with adults in Maryland. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial appointment.

Online approaches that fit everyday life
Sherri uses several practical approaches that translate well to online sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now; it helps when patterns cause repeated conflict or distance. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors so daily life feels more manageable; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotion regulation, which can help with anger and compulsive reactions.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the situations they want to change, then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online formats make it easier to keep consistent sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick guidance, homework check-ins, or real-time coaching between sessions. Together these options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
