About Sheri

Sheri Patterson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana who uses an existential lens alongside practical therapies to help people handle life’s challenges. She emphasizes a client-centered stance so people set the pace and goals for their work. Sessions aim to build on personal strengths and practical steps forward.

She has 11 years of experience that include time in inpatient psychiatric care and outpatient counseling. That range gives familiarity with mood concerns and acute stress as well as longer-term growth work.

Background and approach

Sheri commonly addresses anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue in straightforward, goal-focused ways. In session she helps people with relationship strain, communication problems, and self-esteem struggles. She also works on issues like guilt and shame, forgiveness, midlife transitions, and broader mood disorders.

The focus is on clear, achievable changes rather than clinical labels. Sheri blends Existential Therapy with Client-Centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools when helpful. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy techniques to clarify values and reshape unhelpful stories people tell about themselves.

The mix is chosen to fit each person’s needs. Practical details are a normal part of the work. Sheri supports clients in building motivation, practicing new ways of communicating, and developing self-compassion.

The aim is steady progress that connects daily life to bigger personal goals.

Approach and Options for Online Therapy

Existential Therapy helps people examine life's meaning, choices, and values so they can make clearer decisions during stressful times. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and supporting the person's own goals so they direct the pace and focus of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift patterns and mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Sheri will work with the client to identify what feels most useful based on goals, values, and day-to-day needs. Together they can combine existential questions about meaning with skills-based CBT or a client-centered space for reflection so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or when typing helps express thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
