About Sheri

Sheri Hunt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, relationship and parenting concerns, and issues like guilt and shame.

Sheri begins by listening to each person’s story and recognizing their strengths. She uses practical tools from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills a person can use between meetings.

People often come for help managing overwhelming emotions, coping with life changes, or reducing the grip of shame and self-blame. Sheri talks through patterns that keep someone stuck and helps people try small, concrete changes. That can include attention to thoughts, behaviors, values, and moments when emotion becomes intense.

She has experience with grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, attachment concerns, and substance-related problems alongside mood disorders. Sheri also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and histories of domestic violence or dissociation.

Sheri describes clients as the experts on their own lives and works collaboratively to build on existing strengths. Sessions are straightforward, focused on practical steps, and meant to fit into daily life.

How Sheri uses common approaches in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, guilt, and life transitions to shift focus toward values-based steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. CBT is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings.

Mindfulness-based practice helps people notice sensations and emotions without immediate reaction, which can reduce the intensity of shame or rumination. These practices support increased awareness and moment-to-moment choice.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Sheri will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adapting over time based on what helps.

The therapist's session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often find remote work allows people to practice skills in everyday life and bring real situations into session for discussion.
