About Sherri
Sherri O'Lonergan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are carrying things like stress, anxiety, relationship pain, trauma, and depression. Sherri also focuses on concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Sherri favors straightforward conversation. She creates space for people to talk about what happened and what keeps coming up for them. Sessions are practical and rooted in direct listening rather than jargon. She aims to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and experience. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking, and somatic approaches to address how strong feelings show up in the body. For people whose lives have been marked by trauma, she offers trauma-focused methods and EMDR when appropriate.
Sherri frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set small, manageable steps and checks in on what is and isn't working. Her approach is steady and practical, with attention to real-life demands like parenting, work, and relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Sherri uses client-centered therapy to focus on the client's goals and experience, helping people name what matters and decide practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative thinking and behaviors that can change how someone feels. She also draws on trauma-focused methods and EMDR for clients processing traumatic memories, which involve careful pacing and techniques to reduce the intensity of distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherri will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the client's needs, goals, and comfort level. This collaborative planning helps tailor the focus over time rather than locking into one method from the start.

Video allows for visual connection and fuller discussion, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins that need less bandwidth. These practical options can help therapy fit into everyday life without requiring long commutes or major schedule changes.
