01About Sherri
Sherri Brothers is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing relationship stress, anxiety, grief, and identity concerns. She brings gentle directness and practical steps to conversations so clients leave sessions with something they can try. Her approach aims to make therapy feel doable and focused on real changes.
Sherri has worked in a social service agency for over 20 years. She has experience supporting people affected by the child welfare system and those who have survived trauma.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Connecticut and a bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech. In sessions she begins by learning what matters most to the client and what they hope to change. She helps people name goals and then breaks those goals into small, manageable steps.
Expect a mix of practical skills, reflection, and plain talk about what’s getting in the way. Sherri makes space for people of all races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. She also works with people processing adoption and foster care concerns, family of origin conflicts, and separation or divorce stress.
Building on strengths and improving communication are regular focuses in her work. Common topics she addresses include sleeping trouble, anger, low self-esteem, isolation, career-related stress, and intimacy-related issues. Her aim is to help clients move from feeling stuck to having clear next steps they can try between sessions.

04Online support
How practical approaches translate to online therapy
Sherri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy online to help clients notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress, anger, and emotional overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time so the plan fits the client’s life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or tools between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on practical next steps.
