About Sheri
Sheri Dudley is a licensed clinical social worker who uses somatic and talk-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, and trauma. She brings 18 years of professional experience and focuses on practical ways to feel steadier in day-to-day life. Sheri helps people who are dealing with trauma and abuse to name what’s happening in their bodies and minds.
She also supports parents who are feeling overwhelmed and people who struggle with anger or attention and focus challenges such as ADHD.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be straightforward and grounded in what the person needs right now. Her style combines somatic work with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools. That means there is attention to bodily reactions as well as to thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of change.
Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused techniques are also used where they fit a person’s goals. In a session Sheri aims to make space for honest conversation without judgment. She works alongside people to set clear, manageable steps and to practice skills between meetings.
The pace is adjusted to each person’s comfort level. Sheri practices in Tennessee and offers sessions in English. She invites those who are ready to take a first step to follow the intake process and schedule a session that matches their needs.
Somatic and Practical Approaches for Online Care
Somatic Therapy pays attention to how the body holds stress and trauma. In online sessions this can mean noticing breath, posture, or simple movements and using that information to help reduce physical tension and reactivity. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace, giving space for them to tell their story and choose goals the therapist follows and supports. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, current needs, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time as progress and comfort change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Sessions by video or phone allow face-to-face conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or between-session support. This range of formats makes it easier to keep momentum and practice skills in everyday life while working with a licensed professional.
