Sherrie Kuns-Mackert

Sherrie Kuns-Mackert is a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them address stress, anxiety, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and focus difficulties. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps so parents and caregivers can feel understood quickly.

Her work often looks at attention and concentration concerns, including ADHD-related struggles. She also supports people coping with chronic illness or disability, grief from abandonment, attachment issues, and mood dysregulation. First responder stress, substance problems, and dissociation are also among the issues she has helped with.

Sherrie aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her. Sessions are shaped by what the client needs most - whether that is skills practice, problem solving, or talking through painful feelings. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.

With three decades of practice, she draws on long experience rather than rigid formulas. That experience helps her spot patterns and offer clear steps to try between sessions. She encourages small, manageable changes that fit into daily life.

Parents or caregivers worried about behavior, mood, or coping can expect a calm, steady presence. To begin, the site asks clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Sherrie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and clearer daily functioning. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches coping steps for anxiety, anger, and concentration difficulties; this helps people practice new responses between sessions. Another approach emphasizes problem solving and behavior change to reduce stress and manage symptoms related to chronic illness or ADHD-related focus challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which techniques fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or new issues appear.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows consistent contact with a licensed professional while people balance caregiving, work, and medical appointments.
