About Sheri
Sheri Dudley is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on creating a calm, straightforward space for people to talk about what’s troubling them. She uses practical conversation and listening to help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, anger, parenting challenges, trauma, and difficulties with focus and attention.
She has 18 years of experience in social work and brings a steady, down-to-earth manner to sessions. Sheri aims to make sessions feel simple and clear, so people can say what they mean and work out next steps together.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how the body and emotions show up, not just thoughts. Sheri draws on client-centered ways of working to follow each person’s lead and to build trust. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify patterns that keep problems going.
When trauma is part of the picture, she applies trauma-focused methods and somatic tools to address how difficult events affect both mind and body. In session she listens first, then helps set small, practical goals. Conversations often include strategies for managing strong feelings, improving focus, and handling parenting stress.
Sheri keeps language plain and concrete so a plan feels doable. Sessions are available in Tennessee and are offered in English. She supports people who want steady, hands-on help to reduce overwhelm and find clearer routines and responses to everyday challenges.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. Online sessions give space for open conversation, and the therapist helps shape goals and next steps together. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them; it fits well into video sessions and short text check-ins for practice between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sheri will talk with each person about their needs, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize client-centered support, CBT tools, or trauma-focused and somatic options when emotional or body-based responses are present.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from another location. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting ideas between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and varying schedules.
