01About Sherry
Sherry Coleman helps people who are dealing with addiction, stress, anxiety, and relationship worries. She offers steady, practical support for people trying to rebuild motivation, improve self-esteem, and set healthier boundaries. Sherry has 30 years of professional experience and works from Illinois as an LCPC.
Her sessions focus on clear goals and everyday change. She listens without judgment and helps people name the thoughts and feelings that get in the way.
Background and approach
Together they map small steps toward better routines, more balanced relationships, and greater confidence. Sherry uses strategies from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She blends that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people commit to values-based action.
Mindfulness practices and skills from dialectical behavior work are offered when they fit the person's needs. She also addresses life transitions and career concerns, and helps people who feel isolated or burned out from caregiving or high-stress jobs. Addiction-related concerns are approached with motivation-focused conversations and concrete coping techniques.
Sessions are paced to match what each person can manage. Sherry aims for practical tools that can be used between meetings. The goal is steady progress toward clearer choices and a more manageable day-to-day life.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy adds practical attention skills that help with stress, impulse control, and staying present during difficult moments.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Decisions about methods are made together, so sessions match the person’s needs rather than a fixed formula.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is helpful. Live chat and text sessions allow brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer meetings, making it easier to stay connected while balancing life demands.
