About Sheri
Sheri Dudley is a Tennessee-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who draws on nearly two decades of practice to support people facing trauma, anxiety, stress, anger, parenting challenges, and attention-related concerns.
Background and approach
She emphasizes cognitive behavioral techniques while blending client-centered and trauma-focused methods to help clients notice patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and develop practical coping skills. Her approach also incorporates somatic techniques to address how stress and traumatic experience show up in the body.
In sessions Sheri aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She works collaboratively to set goals and offers motivational interviewing strategies to encourage meaningful change and sustain progress.
Sheri’s background includes long-term clinical experience in Tennessee, and she frames work as a partnership that respects each person’s pace and priorities. People seeking support for parenting tensions, anger regulation, trauma recovery, or attention and memory difficulties will find that Sheri combines evidence-informed strategies with practical skill-building.
Her practice focuses on helping clients move toward more satisfying daily functioning and emotional balance while honoring their strengths and resilience.
Online Therapy Using Collaborative, Evidence-Informed Methods
Sheri integrates cognitive behavioral approaches and trauma-focused work into online therapy in ways that emphasize practical skill-building and recovery from traumatic stress. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete coping strategies to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve daily functioning. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing past harm and reducing its ongoing impact while attending to emotional and behavioral consequences.Sessions are collaborative; Sheri helps clients explore which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance means clients can try cognitive strategies, somatic practices, or motivational interviewing elements and decide together what feels most helpful in achieving their goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home, and use brief check-ins or messaging between longer video sessions to reinforce skills and track progress.
