Sherie Dechter, LCSW

Sherie Dechter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, trauma and grief, parenting and intimacy concerns, and related life problems.

She focuses on practical help during hard times. Sessions cover grief, crisis recovery, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Sherie also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, caregiver strain, fertility concerns, and communication problems.

Her approach draws on several therapy methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Imago relationship ideas. In sessions she listens, clarifies the problems, and suggests straightforward ways to try new behaviors and communicate differently.

Sherie has spent decades helping people navigate expected and unexpected life events. She meets people where they are and focuses on concrete steps that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. That practical orientation includes talking through choices, trying small experiments between sessions, and adjusting plans as needed.

People who choose Sherie usually want a steady, experienced clinician who pays attention to family dynamics and everyday pressures. She helps clients process loss, strengthen relationships, and build clearer goals for work and home life.

Background and approach reflect long-term clinical practice in California and an emphasis on collaboration. The first session typically looks at immediate concerns, past patterns that affect current problems, and a simple plan for the next few weeks.
