About Sherrie

Sherrie Kuns-Mackert is a licensed clinical social worker in California with three decades of professional experience supporting people living with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances and goals.

Background and approach

Sherrie highlights practical concerns like concentration, memory, and focus alongside emotional challenges and adopts a client-centered stance to understand what matters most to the individual.

Her practice draws on lengthy clinical experience to address a wide range of related issues including attachment and abandonment concerns, addiction and impulsivity, dissociation, chronic pain and illness, communication and control difficulties, and the emotional aftermath of disasters.

Sherrie encourages those who are ready to begin work to acknowledge the courage involved in taking the first step and offers a collaborative process to shape therapy around personal needs, preferences, and life context.

Evidence-Informed Methods and Flexible Online Care

Sherrie draws on well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical change and emotional understanding. One commonly used approach helps people develop clearer focus and concentration skills through structured strategies and behavioral adjustments, which can be useful for managing daily tasks and impulsivity. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation, offering tools to reduce distress and improve functioning in challenging situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic collaboration. She works together with clients to evaluate which techniques fit their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences, and adapts plans over time so methods remain useful and relevant for each person.

Online therapy with Sherrie uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work and life commitments, allow continuity of care when travel or mobility are factors, and support different communication styles so clients can choose the medium that feels most comfortable for them.
