About Sheri

LCSW in Tennessee with 18 years of experience, Sheri Dudley focuses on trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, ADHD, stress, anxiety, and family-related issues. She uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide her work.

Sheri keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people name what matters and try small changes that fit daily life. Conversations move at a clear pace so parents and busy adults can use what they learn between appointments.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to make a change but feels unsure how to start. Somatic Therapy helps people notice how stress shows up in the body and practice grounding skills.

With Trauma-Focused Therapy, she addresses past harm in ways that respect each person’s limits. Client-Centered Therapy guides the tone of sessions, keeping the person’s priorities in focus. Sheri aims to balance talking, practical skill-building, and body-awareness work.

She has worked in community settings and direct clinical care across Tennessee. Over 18 years she has helped people manage anxiety, reduce anger, improve concentration, and handle parenting stress.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. Online sessions using this approach emphasize the client’s goals and priorities, so talk therapy centers on what the client brings that day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to change them. In an online setting CBT often uses short exercises and practical homework that can fit into daily routines. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. The therapist uses collaborative questions and reflections to uncover next steps that feel doable. These methods combine to address trauma reactions, anxiety, anger, parenting stress, and concentration difficulties with both conversation and skill practice. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheri will help identify whether CBT, Somatic techniques, Motivational Interviewing, or a trauma-focused method best matches a person’s goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can shift over time as needs change. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about the available formats when scheduling to find what fits daily life.
