    About Sherri

    Sherri Burkert is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with 13 years of clinical experience. She began in mental health settings early and has worked across inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and crisis intervention environments. Sherri uses a warm, inviting style and focuses on helping people set clear goals for change.

    Sherri holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in counseling. She offers practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and substance use issues. Her background includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.

    Her approach is client-centered, meaning sessions are guided by each person’s needs and goals. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, and cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

    In appointments Sherri and the person she sees build treatment goals together and track progress over time. Sessions aim to feel comfortable and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most to them.

    Sherri brings a mix of clinical settings experience and practical techniques. She works with issues such as ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, communication problems, codependency, and substance-related challenges. People seeking a steady, goal-focused counselor may find her approach useful.

  2. How approach and online work can fit your life

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own motivation to change. It uses open conversation to uncover values and goals and can be helpful for substance use issues, behavior change, and ambivalence about next steps.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said, and helps the person decide the direction of work. This approach supports building trust and exploring difficult personal topics.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try different actions, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

    If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit daily routines and technical comfort so sessions support real-life schedules.
