About Sheri
Sheri Bettenhausen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 18 years of experience. She sees people for concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting issues, depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship and sexuality questions. Sheri also lists work with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, sleep problems, and addiction-related worries.
Sheri uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She offers structured tasks and short-term strategies people can try between sessions. Sessions focus on what is happening now and small steps that change day-to-day reactions.
Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work. These methods support symptom management, emotion regulation, and clearer decision making. Sheri often combines skill-building with focused conversations about specific problems.
People who reach out can expect clear options for tackling a concern, like practicing new coping skills, planning manageable behavior changes, or addressing distress from past events. The emphasis is on practical changes rather than long, open-ended talk.
Sheri practices in Kentucky and works in English. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a cancelable subscription model.
How CBT, DBT and trauma work online
Sheri lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-focused work among her approaches. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. DBT emphasizes building specific skills for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions. Trauma-focused methods address distress tied to past events through gradual, structured work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sheri will review your needs, goals, and preferences to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, trauma-focused techniques, or a mix is most useful. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as progress is tracked.
The therapist context does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a usual day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills between sessions in their daily routines while getting regular feedback from a licensed professional.
