Sherri Salmon, LPC

Sherri Salmon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of clinical experience supporting individuals through stressful and traumatic life events. She brings a compassionate, attentive approach and emphasizes the importance of being truly heard while helping clients build practical skills to manage emotions and reframe unhelpful thinking.

Licensed to practice in New Jersey and Illinois, Sherri has worked with a wide age range from early adolescents to older adults, typically serving clients between ages 10 and 80. She often focuses on supporting teenagers, young adults, and women who face depression, anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, abuse, neglect, abandonment, or relationship and family concerns, including issues related to LGBTQ identity and spirituality.

Her clinical work draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused methods to identify strengths, set realistic goals, and develop coping strategies. She pays attention to patterns such as anger, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, financial stress, and workplace difficulties, and offers guidance around self-esteem, self-love, sexuality, forgiveness, and communication challenges.

Sherri views each person as the primary expert on their own story and works collaboratively to uncover existing strengths and build new resources. She helps clients rewrite unhelpful life narratives, learn tools to manage symptoms, and navigate transitions with greater clarity and resilience. Seeking help is acknowledged as a courageous first step, and Sherri provides consistent support throughout the therapeutic process.
