About Sherry
Sherry Bougard is an LCSW who draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. She works in Tennessee and brings ten years of professional experience to sessions. Sherry focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name what feels hard and start to make small, steady changes.
Sherry uses straightforward tools to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness practices to help reduce worry and increase day-to-day coping. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when clients want support finding energy and direction for change.
She also draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas to understand how past experiences shape present reactions. That perspective can help when pain from earlier relationships or trauma gets in the way of confidence, intimacy, or caregiving roles. Sherry lists money and financial issues among the concerns she helps people tackle alongside grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career worries.
Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Sherry works with each person to set realistic goals and choose steps that fit their life. If you want help sorting through feelings, making decisions, or managing everyday stressors, she can guide you through that process.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Sherry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new, practical behaviors to change mood and stress levels. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce worry and increase calm and focus.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build small momentum toward goals. Each approach is presented as a toolset that clients and the therapist choose together based on the issues at hand and personal preferences. Figuring out the best fit is part of the work and Sherry treats that as a collaborative process.
For online work, check the session format options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a lunch break or an evening slot more easily. If you want to address stress, motivation, trauma-related patterns, or money-related anxieties, Sherry can help translate CBT, mindfulness, and motivational techniques into useful steps that fit your routine.
