Sheri Bassewitz

Sheri Bassewitz is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and the everyday challenges that get in the way of functioning. Sheri brings a calm, practical approach and aims to help clients set clear, reachable goals.

Her background includes long periods in hospice, oncology, and home care early in her career. She later worked in school settings and then in private practice with children, adolescents, and families. Those roles shaped her skills in supporting people through loss, medical stress, and behavior or social communication concerns.

Sheri has also spent many summers working at camps for children, including programs for kids with speech, social-emotional, and serious medical needs. She has supervised social workers who were pursuing their licenses. Those experiences inform how she explains tools and models real-world coping strategies.

In session she draws on client-centered work and emotionally-focused methods to help people notice feelings and improve relationships. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to teach practical steps for daily life. Psychodynamic ideas sometimes help uncover patterns that keep problems repeating.

Sheri has experience addressing autism spectrum concerns, ADHD, intellectual disability, grief, parenting stress, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She helps people clarify priorities, practice new skills, and track progress toward defined goals. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.

How Sheri's Approaches Fit Online Care

Client-centered therapy places the client's priorities at the center of sessions and focuses on listening, reflection, and building goals together. It helps people who want a supportive space to clarify what matters and try small changes.

Emotionally-focused therapy helps people notice and name feelings, and then use that understanding to shift patterns in relationships and reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and improve focus in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about what feels most useful based on each person's needs and goals, and then adapt techniques as progress is made. Clients can expect guidance in choosing which methods to try and regular check-ins on how those methods are working.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, lower travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in their everyday routines and bring real-life situations into conversation during sessions.
