Sherie Dechter, LCSW

Sherie Dechter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with about 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, parenting challenges, and related issues. She also addresses self-esteem, career and intimacy-related struggles.

Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed methods to help people handle difficult moments. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful patterns and build workable skills. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods guide conversations about close relationships and how history shapes current reactions.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and concrete steps. Conversations often include identifying triggers, practicing new ways to respond, and building communication skills. The therapist aims to help clients manage stressors and reduce scenes of snapping at loved ones or at work.

She has a long history of helping people through crises and loss. That background includes work with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin issues. She also addresses fertility, jealousy, and women's issues when these affect emotional wellbeing.

Sherie emphasizes collaboration in the room. Clients can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and skills practice between sessions. She explains approaches in plain language and adapts methods to what the person finds most useful.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow California practice standards. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
