Background and approach

Somatic Therapy is part of her work when body sensations matter to processing stress or trauma. Sherri also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. For those with traumatic memories, she offers EMDR and trauma-focused approaches to reduce the intensity of upsetting recollections.

She combines these tools to match the issue at hand rather than using one fixed method. People often come for help with attachment worries, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, or big life changes such as separation and pregnancy. Sherri supports work on mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and questions of life purpose and self-love.

Sessions are described in clear, plain terms and focus on what a person wants to change. Sherri works collaboratively and helps clients try practical steps between sessions. The goal is steady progress toward clearer thinking and more manageable feelings.

How somatic and evidence-based approaches work online

Somatic Therapy focuses on body sensations and awareness to help people notice how stress and emotion show up physically; it can be useful for anxiety, trauma reactions, and overwhelming tension. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes following the client's lead, offering presence and reflection so people feel heard and understood while they decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments to shift mood and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That plan can shift over time as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit sessions into busy lives, check in between meetings, and continue work while traveling or living far from Colorado. The variety of formats supports different preferences for talking, working through emotions, or using brief messages for ongoing support.
