Sherri Kincade, LMHC, LCMHC

Sherri Kincade is a licensed mental health counselor with 27 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a steady, practical approach to therapy. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while also drawing on other skill-based methods to help people manage daily struggles.

Sherri has worked with people from many backgrounds, including healthcare workers, parents, business professionals, and those experiencing homelessness. She helps with depression, anxiety, substance use and recovery, trauma, career challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and issues with self-esteem and mood. Drug and alcohol addiction and women's issues are among her additional areas of focus.

Her style is supportive and motivating. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, asks questions, and helps people sort through thoughts and feelings. She aims to reduce discomfort while also helping clients spend more time feeling content and satisfied with life.

In practice she uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those methods supply concrete skills people can try between sessions to manage stress, cravings, or upsetting emotions.

Sherri also brings experience as a clinical supervisor, so she combines long-term clinical judgment with a straightforward, down-to-earth manner. She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Practical skills and flexible online sessions

Sherri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on concrete steps to change thinking and actions to improve daily functioning.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult feelings are present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that are useful for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sherri will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then tailor a plan that combines techniques that fit those needs.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats as needs change.
