About Sheri

Sheri King is a licensed mental health counselor who uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She holds LCMHC licensure in Vermont and LMHC in New York and brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions. Sheri writes and talks plainly, helping clients uncover their own strengths and choices.

Her approach aims to rebuild confidence and personal agency so people can move toward the life they want.

Background and approach

Sheri focuses on healing from trauma and abuse and on navigating life transitions like grief and separation. She also supports individuals facing intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and the emotional strain of caregiving. She has experience addressing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and issues connected to sexual violence and domestic violence.

Her work includes supporting people with relationship complexities such as blended family dynamics, polyamory or non-monogamous arrangements, and intimacy questions. She also attends to stress tied to aging, cancer, pregnancy and childbirth, and end-of-life concerns. Sheri respects varied sexual cultures and has worked with clients around BDSM and kink topics.

Sessions are aimed at building small, doable steps. Sheri helps people name what matters, try new actions, and strengthen their coping. She encourages self-compassion and clearer communication as part of long-term change.

Sheri practices from New York and offers services in English. She maintains professional licensing in both Vermont and New York as LCMHC and LMHC respectively.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Evidence-based approaches focus the work on clear skills and real change. One common technique emphasizes grounding and coping skills to reduce panic and anxiety; it teaches breathing, body-awareness, and short exercises to use when distress rises. Another useful approach targets trauma recovery with step-by-step methods that help people safely tell their story, build stability, and regain a sense of control after abuse or violence.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest approaches that match your needs. Together you can try techniques, see what feels useful, and adjust the plan as you go.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. These formats let people work on goals from home, keep regular contact between sessions, and schedule meetings around school, work, or caregiving routines. The variety of formats supports flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
