About Sherri
Sherri Burkert is an Ohio LPCC with 13 years as a practicing therapist and two decades working in mental health. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling. Sherri works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and parenting concerns.
She has worked across inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and crisis intervention settings. That range means she has seen brief crisis care and longer-term treatment approaches. She draws on practical techniques to help with mood problems, substance-related concerns, and the stress that comes with life transitions.
Sherri uses a client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what the person brings and on setting clear, measurable goals together. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior approaches to teach skills for thinking differently and regulating intense emotions.
Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are other methods she uses to help people stay focused and make changes that fit their life. These methods are presented as concrete skills to practice between sessions.
People meet her to talk through relationship problems, codependency, caregiver stress, and recovery from substance misuse. She also supports those dealing with trauma-related symptoms, postpartum mood concerns, seasonal mood changes, and the stresses of parenting.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sherri often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy techniques. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience, and it guides how sessions are structured. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first few sessions. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and shifts in routine. They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require travel, which can help when schedules are tight. Therapists can use homework, short practices, and guided skill-building between meetings so that therapy fits into everyday life rather than adding another burden.
