Sherri Salmon, LPC

Sherri Salmon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 30 years of experience providing thoughtful, strengths-based support to people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and significant life transitions. She centers her work on active listening and respect for each person’s story, offering a compassionate environment where individuals can feel heard and work toward practical change. Licensed in New Jersey and in Illinois, she has worked with a wide age range from 10 to 80 and brings particular experience with teenagers, young adults and women navigating depression, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, abuse, neglect and issues of abandonment and resentment.

Her practice frequently addresses concerns such as self-esteem, anger, communication and control issues, as well as financial stress, loneliness and workplace challenges. Therapeutic methods commonly used include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy - approaches that emphasize collaboration, skill building and actionable steps toward goals. As an LPC she frames the counseling relationship around the client’s expertise in their own life while highlighting practical tools to reframe thoughts and respond differently to difficult situations.

Sherri supports clients in exploring values, reconstructing unhelpful patterns and strengthening coping strategies so they can navigate change with greater clarity and resilience.
