About Sherie
Sherie Dechter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers steady, practical support for people facing stress, anger, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. She draws on three decades of experience to help people sort through what feels overwhelming and find clearer ways forward. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, focused on helping clients feel heard and more confident in daily life.
Sherie uses simple, evidence-informed methods to address anger, anxiety, depression, caregiving strain, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on real moments that cause pain or friction and on skills that can be used between sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes that make a difference at home and work. Clients can expect a collaborative approach.
Sherie listens first, then offers practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based ideas, attachment work, and client-centered listening. Sessions combine reflection with concrete exercises for communication, emotion regulation, and stress management. Her background includes long experience supporting people through trauma, grief, adoption and foster care related issues, and parenting challenges.
Sherie also addresses career worries, intimacy-related problems, fertility and family of origin concerns, and compassion fatigue for caregivers. Based in California, she works in English and brings 30 years of clinical practice to each session. People who want steady guidance for anger, family conflict, or life transitions often choose her for a calm, practical partnership.
