Sherri O'Lonergan

Sherri O'Lonergan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. Sherri describes her work as practical and person-focused, aimed at helping clients talk through what matters now.

She uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs. That can include client-centered work that listens to what someone wants, cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, somatic methods that attend to body sensations, and trauma-focused tools for people who have had painful or frightening experiences. EMDR is among the approaches she may use when trauma memories are a focus.

Sessions are conversational and intended to be straightforward. Sherri helps clients name the most pressing problems, try small shifts in thought or behavior, and track whether those changes help. She also addresses issues related to attachment, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Clients who are pregnant or navigating childbirth concerns, exploring sexuality or women’s issues, or managing mood disorders and post-traumatic stress can bring those topics to sessions. Language of work is English and Sherri accepts international clients.

To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.

How Sherri uses approaches online

Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach involve open conversation about priorities and practical goals, and it helps when someone is unsure what to address first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this may mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying short exercises, and checking results week to week to see what changes help with stress or mood.

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that can be used when past memories are causing distress. Online EMDR typically follows a clear plan with gradual steps to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories while tracking safety and pacing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals generally use online sessions to keep regular appointments more feasible while focusing on practical coping skills, trauma processing, and improving communication.
