Sherri Kincade , LMHC, LCMHC

Sherri Kincade is a licensed mental health counselor with 27 years of experience helping people navigate hard seasons. She practices from Florida and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to conversations about mood, stress, and life changes. Sherri uses clear language and steady support so people can make choices that improve daily life.

Her background includes long experience with depression, anxiety, substance use and recovery, and trauma. She has worked with healthcare workers, parents, business professionals, and people who have experienced homelessness. That range has shaped her ability to adapt to different life situations and priorities.

Sherri’s style is supportive and motivating. She treats therapy as an active collaboration where goals are set, progress is tracked, and skills are practiced between sessions. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but also listens and helps people sort through thoughts and feelings when that is what’s needed.

She also brings techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when they fit the work. These tools are used to build coping skills, manage cravings and mood swings, and strengthen self-esteem. Sherri pays attention to challenges commonly faced by women and supports people exploring those concerns.

People who do best with her tend to want a mix of practical tools and empathic listening. She helps with parenting stress, career decisions, relationship and intimacy questions, and recovery from addiction. The aim is clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Sherri commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing what matters to you and taking small, values-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. It can help with life transitions, low motivation, and ongoing worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She treats choice of approach as a partnership. During early sessions she will listen to your concerns and preferences, then suggest methods that fit your goals. The plan can shift as you try techniques and decide what helps most, so the work stays practical and tailored to you.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging let people check in between longer sessions or move at a slower pace when writing feels easier. These options help therapy fit around work, parenting, and other daily demands.
