    About Sheri

    Sheri Dudley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a client-centered way of working to help people feel heard. She focuses on trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, ADHD-related struggles, stress, anxiety, and family issues. Sheri aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

    With 18 years of experience, she creates an environment where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are straightforward and practical, with attention to what matters most to each person. Sheri listens and helps people build steps they can try between sessions.

    Her approach draws on Motivational Interviewing to explore readiness for change and find personal motivation. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and Somatic Therapy to tune into how the body holds stress. These methods are used together to match the client’s needs.

    Sheri has worked in Tennessee and brings years of hands-on experience addressing trauma, parenting strain, anger management, attention and focus difficulties, and anxiety. She focuses on what clients want to change and breaks larger goals into small, doable actions.

    People who choose to work with her can expect clear communication and practical strategies. She encourages gradual progress and adjusts plans as needed.

  2. How Sheri's Approaches Work Online

    Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflection to find what matters most to an individual and to build motivation for next steps.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead to make conversations feel safe and focused on what the person wants to work on.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or manage anger.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sheri will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often mix approaches and adjust over time based on what helps most.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since none were specified in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often find that many skills and conversations translate well to remote work, and Sheri will help tailor the process to your schedule and needs.
