About Sherri

Dr. Sherri Allen helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, or relationship strain. She greets each person with calm, straightforward care and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Dr. Allen is a Georgia Psychologist with 25 years of experience and she frames work around clients' strengths and values.

She listens first to understand how symptoms interfere with daily life. Then she and the client set clear, manageable goals. Sessions emphasize skills that reduce panic and anxiety, lift mood, and improve how people relate to others.

Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused ideas. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new coping actions. It also means short-term goal work that focuses on small, practical changes that add up.

Dr. Allen considers cultural background and life context when planning treatment. She often works with caregivers, people facing life transitions, and those coping with trauma or ongoing stress. The emphasis is on building tools that fit the client's real life.

People who choose her report that sessions are steady, goal-oriented, and respectful. If someone wants clear strategies, measured progress, and a collaborative plan, Dr. Allen helps guide each step toward clearer functioning and more hope.

CBT and Solution-Focused Care Online

Dr. Allen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors. CBT is helpful for anxiety, panic, depressive symptoms, and social fears because it focuses on clear strategies people can practice between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy complements this by zeroing in on small, achievable goals and the next steps that move someone toward those goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then try methods that match those needs. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made together so progress stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is good for face-to-face interaction and skill practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat work well for brief check-ins or step-by-step guidance. These options give flexibility so people can keep steady momentum while balancing work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
