Sheri Bassewitz, LCSW

Sheri Bassewitz is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with decades of experience helping people handle major life stressors. She draws on practical, down-to-earth methods to help clients manage anxiety, depression, grief, and midlife changes. Sheri speaks plainly and focuses on coping skills clients can use right away.

Her background includes long experience in hospice, oncology, and home care settings early in her career. She later worked in schools for many years and spent time supervising social workers pursuing their licenses. Those roles shaped her understanding of grief, illness, and family stress.

Sheri has also worked with children at camps that support speech, language, and social emotional learning, and she volunteered at a camp for children with serious illnesses. That hands-on work informs how she supports young people with social communication needs.

In private practice she has counseled children, adolescents, and adults about emotional and social difficulties that get in the way of daily life. Her approach centers on helping people set realistic goals and learn tools to cope with everyday demands and transitions.

She uses client-centered methods, emotionally-focused and mindfulness approaches, psychodynamic ideas, and short-term solution-focused work depending on a person’s needs. Sheri aims to help people define what matters to them and build manageable steps toward those goals.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. It encourages the therapist to listen closely and reflect what matters to the client so practical changes can follow. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people identify and process strong feelings that affect relationships and self-understanding. It can be useful for grief, anxiety, and life transitions where emotions feel overwhelming. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sheri will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and current concerns. That choice can change over time as needs shift or short-term goals are reached.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also can allow conversations from familiar surroundings and make it simpler to practice mindfulness or coping exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt emotionally-focused and client-centered techniques to remote sessions, and the practical focus of solution-focused work often fits well with scheduled online meetings.
