About Sherry
Sherry Bougard is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She creates a calm space where clients can talk about what’s on their mind. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at small changes that add up over time.
Sherry uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. She also draws on mindfulness to teach simple grounding skills for moments of overwhelm.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find internal reasons to change. In sessions she focuses on clear goals. People often come for help with relationship strain, anger, grief, or career concerns.
She also supports those facing trauma, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and questions about identity and intimacy. Sherry works one step at a time. Conversations include practical strategies, short exercises to practice between sessions, and gentle reflection about patterns that keep problems going.
She keeps explanations plain and things actionable so progress is easy to track. Based in Tennessee, Sherry tailors plans to each person’s situation and pace. She encourages small experiments in daily life to test new skills.
If someone wants straightforward support for mood, coping, or life transitions, she offers steadiness and real-world tools.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Sherry commonly blends cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices when working online. CBT helps identify patterns of thought that make problems worse and teaches practical skills to test new behaviors. Mindfulness therapy adds simple breathing and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. This partnership lets the work change as needs evolve rather than staying fixed on one method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching between sessions, and a steady thread of progress. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into a busy life.
