About Sherri
Sherri Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maryland. She brings 26 years of experience helping people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion so clients feel heard from the start.
Sherri focuses on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career frustration, stress, anxiety, and sleep concerns among other issues. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy-related questions, parenting strain, and attention-related challenges. Her work often includes attention to attachment patterns and how they shape current relationships.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps a person set practical goals. Sessions tend to include skills you can try between meetings and time to talk through what matters most right now. She adapts the pace and methods to each person’s needs.
Sherri uses several clinical approaches to guide work in therapy. That can mean focused strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, learning skills to manage intense emotions, and practices that increase present-moment awareness. Together these tools support clearer thinking and steadier coping.
If someone is ready to begin, the usual next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. The therapist will shape a plan based on the person’s goals, background, and life demands.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and responses. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them, which often fits well into short, skill-focused sessions. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful when managing anxiety, sleep disruption, or stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan if something feels unhelpful.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as those details aren’t listed here. Many people find online therapy helps fit conversations into busy weeks, lets them schedule shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time so therapy can be used around work or caregiving responsibilities. Online sessions can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring current, real-life examples into the conversation.
