Sherry Ackerman
,LCSW
My name is Sherry Ackerman and I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have extensive experience working with children, adult and teens with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, school/career challenges, Autism and ADHD. I also have helped many adults who have experienced trauma and/or abuse and relationship/ career issues. I have worked in schools for many years with adolescents as well as have an active private practice for adults on the side.
My counseling style is warm and holistic approach. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I am eclectic in my approach and combine cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and insight oriented therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I am available for counseling either through video, phone call or chat. Whatever works for you!
I look forward to working with you and to helping you become a better version of yourself!

"I feel that I’m growing and beginning to heal at my older age which I didn’t know was possible until recently. Just beginning to realize what is causing my suffering. It’s the way I think! Doing the worksheets is a great tool and motivates me to grow. Sherry’s responses to my answers have been
Supportive yet very suggestive in nature. Her responses make me feel that she’s right there with me. Thank you! I only regret that I haven’t done as much journaling as I should. I feel motivated to try even harder. Sherry has really been a blessing to me and I am looking forward to meeting with her for the first time this week on-line.
Thank- you again On- Line therapy :)"

"I find the worksheets very thought provoking which is helping me to identify why react the way that I do. I love the journaling and have just started to utilize the yoga and mediation sections. This program is helping to keep me on track when I don't have other resources available. I love being able access theses services 24/7, it is helping me a lot!"

"So far so good. I like all the journaling and worksheets also the response from the therapist.
Since its so expensive, I might try other therapist to see someone else view."

"A am going through a divorce after 25 years and, things are not very good with my work environment. I was very skeptical of online therapy but, there was a six month wait for a therapist where I live. A friend encouraged me to try out online therapy and I am so pleased that I listened. When things get this bad, friends can only help so much before you start to become a burden that starts to destabilize their lives. I knew a trained professional was the only way to get solid guidance and improve the stability in my life without driving my friend away. My experience, so far, has been very positive. Guidance from someone that is trained and has no alliances and no dog in your personal fight has been incredibly helpful to me. My closest friend has noticed so much of a change for the positive in me that, even though I am between projects, on unemployment and fairly low on available funds, he is helping me to afford to stay in this program. It was so important to him, he has gone way out of his way to help. We are only in the beginning stages of this but, it has helped beyond belief just to know that I can speak and message with a trained professional and, that she has my back. Joining online therapy was the best choice that I made in this entire mess!"
