About Sherri
Sherri Burkert is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, relationship problems, parenting strain, trauma, grief, and related mood and behavioral issues. Sessions are offered in English and Sherri practices from Ohio where she was born and raised.
Sherri's background includes work across inpatient and outpatient settings, partial hospitalization, and crisis intervention. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling. That mix of settings gives her direct experience with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, and addiction-related concerns.
Her style centers on a client-focused approach. She and the person in therapy set measurable goals together and check progress over time. Conversations are practical and grounded, with space to talk through emotions, behavior patterns, and day-to-day challenges.
Sherri uses several evidence-informed methods, including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior elements, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Those tools are used to address things like coping with life changes, building healthier communication, and managing strong emotions.
People who reach out can expect straightforward collaboration about goals and steps forward. She notes that counseling involves commitment and active work, and she invites adults who are ready to make changes to begin the process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Sherri commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered methods focus on listening closely and shaping goals together, which helps people clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and offers practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns.She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy when skills training is useful. DBT-style skills emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be helpful for managing strong reactions and relationship strain. Together, these approaches give a mix of supportive listening and actionable tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherri will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
