Sherie Dechter, LCSW

Sherie Dechter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 30 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, trauma and grief. Her focus also includes intimacy issues, ADHD, caregiver stress, and adoption and foster care matters.

Sherie uses several well-known therapy approaches and chooses methods that fit each person. She pays attention to attachment patterns and communication difficulties in families. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make new choices.

In sessions she aims for straightforward conversation and practical steps. She helps people manage crisis moments and navigate expected or unexpected life changes. That can include talking through grief, setting boundaries with relatives, or finding ways to reduce daily anxiety.

Sherie frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for what matters most and helps people try different strategies. Sessions may include reflection, skill practice, and talking about family of origin and current relationships.

Her background includes long experience supporting parents, caregivers, and people coping with fertility, adoption, or the stresses of raising children. Sherie brings decades of practice in California and works in English.
