About Sherrie
Sherrie Kuns-Mackert is a California-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of professional experience. She works with people who are having trouble with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and attention or focus concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from California.
Sherrie focuses on practical, talk-based work that addresses everyday problems. She listens for patterns that make stress and worry worse. Then she helps people try different ways of managing reactions, improving concentration, and reducing anger spikes. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and the emotional toll of caring roles.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of concerns. That experience informs how she frames options for people who struggle with attachment, abandonment, communication problems, impulsivity, or co-occurring issues like substance use or chronic illness. She also has experience related to autism and Asperger syndrome, dissociation, and first responder stress.
Sherrie aims to shape sessions around what a person needs next, using clear, practical steps rather than technical language. She pays attention to how stress shows up in daily life and helps people find manageable changes. The focus is on small experiments, clearer communication, and steady skill-building.

Evidence-based approaches and remote care
Sherrie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach involves structured, problem-focused conversations that identify triggers and test small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve focus. This method is useful for stress, worry, and attention difficulties.Another approach emphasizes emotion management and communication skills. It teaches ways to notice strong feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve how someone expresses needs. That kind of work often helps with anger, relationship strain, and compassion fatigue symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sherrie will discuss options and help decide what fits a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative planning continues as progress is reviewed and techniques are adjusted.
