About Sheri

Sheri Dudley is a Tennessee-licensed LCSW who blends practical therapy methods with warm, collaborative care. She draws on client-centered principles to build an accepting space where people can explore difficult emotions and experiences.

Background and approach

Using evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused interventions, she helps clients identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and work through the impact of past abuse or ongoing stress.

With 18 years of clinical experience, Sheri brings particular attention to concerns like trauma and abuse, anger, parenting challenges, anxiety, stress, family dynamics, and difficulties with concentration and focus often associated with ADHD. She also uses somatic approaches and motivational interviewing when useful to address how feelings show up in the body and to support readiness for change.

Sheri aims to partner with each person to create realistic goals and practical steps toward improved functioning and emotional balance.

Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change

Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person's perspective and building a collaborative relationship; in online work this creates a foundation where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to manage anxiety, stress, anger, and attention-related challenges, making it well suited to structured remote sessions. Trauma-focused therapy attends to the effects of past harm and integrates techniques to process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning.

Sheri approaches these methods as tools to be adapted together with clients rather than fixed prescriptions. She helps people weigh which approaches fit their goals and comfort level, and adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback. This collaborative process aims to build practical strategies and emotional insight that fit a client's life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and for communicating in ways that feel most comfortable. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic skills into everyday routines.
