Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Sherri integrates structured and reflective approaches during online work, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness therapy among other methods. She describes cognitive behavioral therapy as a way to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills to change patterns of feeling and behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy is presented as a skills oriented practice for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness therapy is offered as a means to build present moment awareness and calm, making it easier to apply other skills in daily life.These approaches are used collaboratively: Sherri tailors the mix of strategies to the issues each person brings and to their preferred pace. Remote work supports skills practice, reflective discussion, and step by step planning. Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and the communication method can be chosen to fit how a person likes to engage.
Throughout online care she focuses on setting clear goals, selecting techniques suited to those goals, and adjusting plans as needs evolve.
