About Sherri
Sherri Burkert is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 13 years of clinical experience. She works from Ohio and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Sherri aims to create a warm, welcoming space where people can talk about what matters to them.
She focuses on helping clients set clear goals and track progress together. Sherri has worked across a range of mental health settings, including inpatient and outpatient care, partial hospitalization, and crisis intervention.
Background and approach
That background gives her a broad sense of how different supports fit together. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and addiction-related problems. Parenting concerns are also part of her focus.
Her style is client-centered, which means sessions are guided by each person's goals and pace. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices are used to build coping skills and emotional regulation.
Sherri also uses motivational interviewing when people are facing change or struggling with substance use. This helps people find their own reasons to make different choices. She pays attention to caregiver stress, codependency, grief, communication problems, and relationship strain.
People who choose Sherri can expect straightforward talk, goal setting, and regular check-ins on progress. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Sessions are conducted in English and are scheduled based on availability in Ohio.

Approaches to change and how online therapy helps
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what each person wants to change. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps set goals that feel meaningful and manageable.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes skills like distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and better communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That means trying a few strategies and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to keep conversation going between sessions. These options are intended to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
