Sherie Dechter, LCSW

Sherie Dechter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience helping people through hard times. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. Sherie aims to help clients feel more comfortable with themselves and move toward the life they want.

She uses a range of therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs, including acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral methods, and Imago relationship ideas. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on finding steps that feel manageable day to day.

Sherie describes the therapy room as warm and supportive. She listens for what matters most and helps people make practical changes. That may mean learning new ways to talk about feelings, adjusting patterns that cause conflict, or developing routines that reduce anxiety and overwhelm.

Her background includes long experience with parenting and caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and fertility-related stress. She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, and social anxiety.

Clients can expect a steady, collaborative process that focuses on grieving, healing after trauma, and resolving relationship difficulties. Sherie helps people identify small, achievable steps and build on them over time.

How Sherie’s methods translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that move you toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help with persistent anxiety, stress, and relationship doubts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relational patterns shape trust and closeness, and it can be useful for intimacy-related issues and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes attentive listening and empathy to help people feel heard and to build their own solutions in therapy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sherie will collaborate with each person to test what feels most helpful, adapting methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. The process is guided by practical goals and small experiments you can try between sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many clients find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into busy days, avoid travel time, and make shorter check-ins possible when needed. Online work can support relationship conversations, grief processing, and managing everyday stress through the same therapeutic tools Sherie uses in-person.
