About Sherry
Sherry Bougard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, depression, motivation, and self-esteem, and she helps people who are working through relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, career pressure, and life changes.
She uses practical talk and goal-focused techniques in sessions. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, practicing mindfulness to reduce reactivity, and using motivational interviewing to build momentum for change. She also brings psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused methods when past experiences shape current patterns.
In a typical meeting she listens for what matters most right now and helps set small, doable steps. Conversations cover everyday life - work stress, money worries, family tensions, and health challenges - not just symptoms. She talks through ways to manage anger, handle difficult relationships, and cope with chronic illness or caregiver strain.
Sherry works with people dealing with identity and LGBT questions, bipolar mood concerns, or the fallout from abandonment and isolation. She also addresses issues such as communication problems, commitment concerns, and problems around intimacy and trust.
Sessions combine practical skills with time to reflect on patterns that repeat. People can expect straightforward guidance, collaborative planning, and follow-up steps to try between meetings.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Sherry often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test out new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on practical changes a person can try between sessions.She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and build small steps when someone feels uncertain about change. These approaches are conversational and task-oriented, so they adapt well to discussion-based sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review the client’s goals, symptoms, and daily life and then recommend a mix of methods. Decisions about pacing, homework, and techniques are made collaboratively so the plan fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people appreciate being able to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and medical appointments while still using structured therapeutic tools.
