Sheri Bassewitz, LCSW

Sheri Bassewitz is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience assisting children, adolescents, and adults across a range of care settings. Her clinical background includes work in hospice, oncology, and home care agencies, followed by certification and practice in school settings, and more recently clinical work in private practice supporting young people and families. She has also supervised social workers working toward licensure, bringing a depth of practical and mentoring experience to her therapeutic practice.

Outside of formal practice, Sheri has contributed to camp programs for children with speech, language, and social-emotional learning needs and volunteered at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for children with serious illnesses. Those experiences inform her compassionate approach to clients facing medical, developmental, and emotional challenges.

Sheri focuses on helping clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parenting concerns, trauma, social communication differences, ASD, and ADHD, among other areas. She aims to help people identify clear goals and learn practical tools and coping strategies to improve daily functioning and emotional well-being. As an LCSW - a credential that indicates training and authorization to provide clinical social work and psychotherapy - she combines clinical skills with a collaborative, client-centered approach to support each person she works with.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sheri uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the individual's perspective, creating a supportive environment where clients explore their feelings and set personal goals; this approach is useful for building self-esteem, managing life transitions, and strengthening coping skills. She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques to help clients and families identify and process core emotions and improve relational patterns, which can be especially helpful for parenting challenges, family problems, and grief. Mindfulness therapy is another component of her work, teaching attention and grounding practices that reduce stress and support emotional regulation for anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sheri works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy stays practical and relevant. She emphasizes partnership and clear goal-setting throughout treatment.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client. Licensed professionals can provide effective support remotely while tailoring sessions to individual circumstances.
