About Sheri

Sheri Hunt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar challenges, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, and anger. Sheri works with adults who are coping with big life changes and the day-to-day strain of mood and attention differences.

Sheri centers sessions on the person’s own goals and strengths. She uses straightforward talk and practical tools rather than jargon. Clients learn skills to manage strong emotions, reduce reactivity, and handle difficult conversations. Treatment is grounded in approaches that focus on thoughts, behavior, values, and present-moment awareness.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are also part of the toolbox when they fit the client’s needs. Motivational Interviewing supports people working through substance use and motivation problems.

Sheri emphasizes small, doable steps. That might mean building a short distress plan, practicing a breathing or grounding exercise, or trying a new communication strategy with someone who triggers anger. She explains techniques clearly and checks in about what feels useful.

She has practiced in Kentucky settings across community and clinical work. Sheri asks people to set clear goals and track progress so therapy stays practical. To begin, she guides clients through a brief intake and an initial session to map priorities and plan next steps.

How Sheri’s approaches work online

Sheri commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when strong feelings are present; it can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. CBT looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches practical experiments to reduce reactivity and long-standing patterns.

She also uses DBT skills and mindfulness exercises to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance. These skills help people pause, notice urges, and choose a response rather than act on impulse. Mindfulness practices support staying present and reducing rumination about past hurts or future worries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try techniques together, adjusting what is used based on what helps most. Sheri checks in regularly so the plan stays focused on the client’s priorities.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent appointments and practice skills between sessions.
