About Sherrie
Sherrie Kuns-Mackert is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and attention concerns. She also addresses related areas such as concentration and memory difficulties.
Sherrie focuses on straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what changes a person wants to see. Sessions look at how stress and long work hours affect mood and attention. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior that get in the way of daily functioning.
Her approach centers on respect and sensitivity during appointments. Sherrie adapts discussion and plans to the person in front of her rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. That means practical steps and strategies are introduced when they match a person’s needs.
She has worked across many settings over three decades, which informs how she helps with problems like compassion fatigue, first responder stress, addiction concerns, and chronic health challenges. This experience shapes realistic goals and manageable tasks between sessions.
People who feel stuck after a job change, health issue, or difficult relationship may find this practical style useful. Sherrie encourages early steps and recognizes that starting therapy can feel hard. She asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first appointment so sessions can begin focused and purposeful.
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Sherrie works with commonly used evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, mood, and attention. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that maintain anxiety and low mood. This method breaks problems into concrete steps and teaches skills to respond differently to difficult situations. Another approach emphasizes practical coping strategies for emotion and impulse control. It offers grounding skills, short behavioral experiments, and communication techniques useful when anger or impulsivity interfere with daily life. These tools can also help with concentration and compassion fatigue by creating reliable routines and limits. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress and life circumstances change. Because the biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Discuss format choices during the initial scheduling so sessions fit practical needs and daily life.Areas of expertise
