Sheri LaBree , LICSW

Sheri LaBree is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts. She draws on a client-centered and attachment-informed way of working to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and depression. Sheri presents as an ally to LGBTQ+ people and centers respect in her sessions.

Sheri prefers short, clear conversations that focus on the concerns a person brings. She listens for personal strengths and practical steps people can try between sessions. That approach is useful for coping with mood concerns, social anxiety, and overwhelming stress.

Her background includes work with older adults, caregivers, and people facing chronic illness or end-of-life issues. Those experiences shaped how she talks about caregiving stress, chronic pain, and grief in real life. Sheri also helps people dealing with family problems, separation and divorce, and the fallout from trauma.

Sheri uses a mix of approaches, including attachment-based ideas, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused techniques. She aims to tailor the mix to each person’s needs and goals. Sessions tend to be practical, paced to what feels manageable, and focused on small changes that add up.

With five years of clinical therapy experience and a Master of Arts level LICSW credential, Sheri brings steady support and straightforward guidance. She works in English and practices remotely for people in Massachusetts.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how those early patterns affect current connections. In online sessions this can look like naming repeated reactions, noticing needs, and practicing new ways to ask for support. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s experience and the therapist’s warm attention, so most sessions are driven by what matters most right now and what the client wants to tackle. Mindfulness therapy uses simple practices to calm the body and steady attention, which helps with anxiety, rumination, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sheri checks in about goals, comfort level, and what has worked before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. The process is about finding a fit, not starting with a fixed program.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and try breathing or grounding exercises together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text are suited to quick check-ins, short problem-solving, or pacing support throughout the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain momentum between sessions.
