About Sheri

Sheri Hunt is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, mood challenges, and parenting concerns. She draws on 15 years of professional experience as an LCSW to offer steady support and straightforward strategies. Sheri keeps sessions focused on clear goals and real-life skills so parents and adults can make small, durable changes.

Sheri favors methods that teach tools people can use between sessions.

Background and approach

She often incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and commit to useful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness skills are woven in to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional awareness.

Her background includes long involvement across mental health settings in Kentucky, working with mood disorders, trauma and substance-related concerns. Sheri pays attention to how grief, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring conditions interact with daily life. She uses that experience to tailor interventions to each person’s situation.

Sheri describes clients as the experts on their own stories and treats each person with respect and practical focus. In sessions she listens, helps set achievable steps, and teaches coping techniques that can be practiced at home. She aims to make therapy a collaborative process that fits into busy family lives.

To begin, Sheri asks people to identify the next small change they want. From there she helps build a plan with clear skills and check-ins so progress is visible and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most to the client and taking practical steps toward those values. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions by shifting attention from unhelpful avoidance to purposeful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors because it teaches concrete exercises to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness; it pairs well with other methods to manage overwhelm and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheri collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels practical for home life. Together they will try techniques, see what fits, and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to keep consistent appointments. Sheri uses these tools to teach exercises, review progress, and check in between sessions so therapy can fit into everyday family routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
