Sherri Burkert, LPCC - Therapist in Ohio

About Sherri

Sherri Burkert is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 13 years of therapy experience. She practices in Ohio and approaches her work in a warm, client-centered way. Sherri uses straightforward language and practical steps so people can understand each part of the process.

She trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling before working across inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and crisis intervention settings. That range gave her experience treating substance use concerns, mood disorders like depression and bipolar, and common problems such as stress and anxiety.

Background and approach

Sherri focuses on building clear goals together and checking progress as therapy moves forward. She prefers to meet clients where they are and to shape sessions around their needs and pace. Expect direct conversation about problems along with concrete tools to try between meetings.

Her work includes support for relationship issues, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. She also addresses addictions, ADHD, anger, postpartum depression, and caregiver stress among other areas. Therapeutic methods include client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing.

These approaches are used in practical ways to help people manage symptoms and develop clearer routines and choices.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and making the space feel comfortable. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps shape goals together, which suits people who want collaborative, paced work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression. That approach is useful for stress, low mood, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what is working.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins or a way to share updates between meetings. These options give flexibility so people can access help from home, work, or wherever they are most comfortable.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
