About Sherilyn

Mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused techniques are also part of her toolbox when they fit the client’s needs.
Her background includes a doctoral degree in Pastoral Community Counseling and many years working with grief, caregiver stress, and issues around abandonment and codependency. She combines that pastoral perspective with clinical approaches to support emotional healing and greater resilience. People who meet with Dr.
Allen can expect practical strategies, steady support, and help setting realistic goals. She works with each person to create a plan that addresses immediate concerns and builds long-term coping skills.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate online
Dr. Allen often blends Attachment-Based Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change repetitive relational behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s goals and priorities, using empathic listening and reflection to guide growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods over time so work stays relevant and practical rather than fixed to a single model.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video allows face-to-face conversation when it helps, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and use therapy during busy or changing schedules.
