About Sherri
Sherri Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 26 years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career issues, motivation, and confidence. Sherri works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, and other life changes.
She uses practical conversation and goal-focused work to help people sort priorities and manage overwhelming feelings. Sessions often include exploring how past attachments affect current relationships and learning concrete skills to reduce stress. Sherri draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help change unhelpful thinking and build steadier routines.
Her client-centered stance means the person in the chair leads the pace and priorities. She pays attention to patterns that show up again and again in relationships and day-to-day life. Where appropriate, she brings in techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to strengthen emotion regulation and coping in high-stress moments.
Sherri also offers coaching-style guidance for career questions and practical steps toward goals. She can help people facing issues such as addiction, ADHD, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and blended family concerns. Her approach is direct and conversational, with an emphasis on what works for each person.

How sessions work
How Sherri’s approaches translate to online sessions
Sherri draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions; this helps when people want to understand reoccurring conflicts or closeness issues. Client-centered therapy means sessions stay focused on the person's priorities and pace, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering reflective feedback. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers simple, practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration is intended to make sessions feel useful and focused on concrete steps. Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use techniques such as mindfulness practice and skills coaching in the moment, so work between sessions can feel connected to everyday life.Areas of focus
