Remote care tailored to skills and trauma work
Sheri integrates structured and experiential approaches for remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and collaborative goal setting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills training for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful when strong emotions or relationship strain make daily life harder.
For those processing traumatic memories, Sheri also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to support gradual reprocessing of distressing experiences. She aims to match the method to the person’s goals, working together to choose whether to focus on skill building, emotional processing, or a combination. Sheri offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how people connect.
