About Sheri

Sheri Dudley uses a client-centered approach to guide people through trauma, parenting stress, anger, ADHD-related challenges, and anxiety. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, based in Tennessee and brings 18 years of experience to her practice. Sheri focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they need to say and feel heard.

Sheri listens first to understand each person's story and priorities. From there she uses practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Motivational interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck or unsure how to begin. She also incorporates somatic techniques and trauma-focused methods when the body holds strong reactions to past events. These approaches help people notice and shift physical responses tied to stress and old wounds.

Sessions balance talking with simple, body-focused exercises when those feel useful. Sheri often works with parents who are overwhelmed and with people managing anger or attention difficulties. She helps clients break problems into small, manageable steps and build skills they can use outside sessions.

Progress is paced to what each person can handle. Practical matters such as scheduling and session format are discussed up front. Sheri encourages straightforward, honest goals and regular check-ins so work stays relevant and useful.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps people clarify goals, speak honestly about their struggles, and decide what change looks like for them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches straightforward skills for managing anxiety, anger, and attention difficulties by changing thought patterns and practicing new actions.

Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to how past events affect current feelings and reactions. It uses targeted techniques to reduce the power of traumatic memories and to help people regain control over daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheri will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques based on what the person finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Chat and text allow short updates, homework checks, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
