About Sherri

Sherri Brothers, LPC, helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, stress, grief, and career concerns. She focuses on worries tied to identity, intimacy, and family origins, and supports those navigating adoption and foster care issues. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.

Sherri draws on two decades of work in a local social service agency. That time included supporting people affected by the child welfare system and those who have experienced trauma. She completed a Bachelor’s Degree at Virginia Tech and a Master’s Degree at the University of Connecticut, where she specialized in Marriage and Family Therapy.

In sessions she starts by getting to know what matters most to the client. She helps people name their concerns, clarify motivation for counseling, and set achievable goals. Conversations focus on concrete steps clients can try between meetings.

Sherri welcomes people of every race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identification. She looks for each person’s strengths and works with them to build momentum and practical change.

Her common concerns include depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and young adult issues. She also supports those dealing with divorce, communication problems, isolation, and sexuality questions. Sherri aims to make sessions useful and easy to follow for busy lives.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Sherri commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing small changes, which can help with anxiety, mood problems, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which often helps with sleep, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each client to match methods to their goals and preferences. That means discussing what techniques feel useful and adjusting plans as progress is made, rather than sticking to a single roadmap from the start.

Please confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also make it simpler to use tools and homework between sessions so progress continues outside of meetings.
