Sherrie Kuns-Mackert, LCSW

Sherrie Kuns-Mackert is a California licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, attention challenges, and problems with concentration or memory. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she encourages people who are taking the first step toward getting help.

Sherrie shapes conversations around each person's needs. She builds a straightforward plan together with the person in the room, adjusting strategies as progress is made. Sessions focus on practical skills for managing strong feelings, improving focus, and coping with day-to-day strain.

Her background includes long-term work in clinical settings across California. That experience has shaped a practical approach to common problems such as chronic pain, co-morbidity, communication breakdowns, control issues, and substance concerns. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, dissociation, and difficulty following through when impulsivity is present.

Sherrie supports first responder issues and people dealing with the fallout from natural or human-caused disaster. She offers help around forgiveness, guilt, and shame so people can move forward from painful events. When health challenges affect mood or function, she talks through how illness and disability interact with everyday life.

Her sessions are personalized rather than one-size-fits-all. People can expect direct, empathetic dialogue and tools they can try between meetings. Sherrie acknowledges how hard it can be to start and aims to make the process understandable and steady.

Practical approaches for online care and symptom management

Sherrie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use day to day. One common approach teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety and anger, such as grounding, breathing, and step-by-step behavioral changes to reduce reactivity. These methods help when emotions feel overwhelming and make it easier to manage stress during busy days.

Another approach emphasizes improving focus and managing attention challenges through routine building, simple task strategies, and practice with memory aids. This kind of work supports people who struggle with concentration or impulsivity and helps translate small changes into steadier daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients are treated as partners in deciding which strategies to keep and which to change.

Confirm the session formats available for scheduling before booking, as the therapist's profile does not list specific delivery options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or enabling appointments during a work break. Discuss practical scheduling and format preferences when you sign up so sessions can be arranged to match everyday routines.
