About Sherrie

Sherrie Kuns-Mackert is a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, attention and concentration concerns, and challenges with memory and focus. Her tone is respectful and straightforward, and she aims to tailor conversations to each person’s needs.

In sessions she focuses on practical, everyday strategies you can use between meetings. She listens for what matters most to you and adjusts the plan as you move forward. That can mean working on coping skills, organizing routines to help attention, or setting up small behavioral changes to ease mood and stress.

Sherrie brings a long career of varied work across clinical settings, which informs how she approaches common and complex problems. She understands how chronic illness, pain, addiction, or trauma-related issues can overlap and affect daily life. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide care while keeping explanations plain and action-oriented.

Her style is collaborative and compassionate. She invites clients to share what works and what doesn’t, and to co-create goals that fit real life. If you are thinking about starting therapy, she encourages taking the next step and will work with you to build a sensible plan.

How therapeutic techniques translate to online work

Sherrie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a clear, practical way. One common approach she relies on focuses on building coping skills and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce stress and improve mood. This helps with anxiety, anger, and day-to-day depression by giving concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Another approach emphasizes attention and organizational strategies to support concentration and memory. These techniques break tasks into smaller steps, create routines, and use simple reminders so people can manage focus and follow-through more easily.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with you about your goals and preferences, then try methods that match your situation. That collaboration helps refine what helps most over time rather than expecting one single solution up front.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm available formats before booking so you know whether sessions fit your schedule and needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy weeks, reduce travel time, and let people choose quieter times for check-ins. It can also allow shorter follow-up meetings when you need a quick review of new skills or progress without a full session.
