Finding grief counseling in Dover, DE that actually understands what you’re going through can be harder than it should be. Grief doesn’t follow a schedule, and it doesn’t always look like what people expect — whether you’re anticipating a loss, adjusting to life after a diagnosis, or carrying the weight of caring for someone else.
Rising Sails is based right here in Dover, DE, with an office on Walker Road. Sherri Webster, LCSW, C-SWHC works exclusively with adults navigating grief — not as one of many specialties, but as the focus of her practice. That includes loss of a loved one, anticipatory grief while facing a serious diagnosis, chronic illness grief, and caregiver grief.
Grief Counseling in Dover, DE — In-Person or Online
Some people want to sit across from someone in a quiet room. Others need the flexibility of meeting from home, especially during a season when leaving the house feels like one more thing. Rising Sails offers both, with no difference in the quality of care.
In-person sessions are held at 838 Walker Road, Suite 22-3, Dover, DE 19904. For clients who prefer telehealth, Sherri also sees clients virtually across Delaware and five other states, so you can switch between the two as your needs change.
Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
I feel like I should be “over this” by now, but I’m not.
I’m grieving someone who hasn’t died yet.
Everyone around me has moved on, and I’m still stuck.
I’m exhausted from taking care of everyone else and have nothing left for myself.
I don’t know who I am now that this has happened.
If any of this resonates, you’re not alone, and you’re not doing grief “wrong.” These are some of the most common experiences among the clients Sherri works with.
What Grief Counseling in Dover, DE Looks Like
Sessions are tailored to where you are, not a fixed program. Many clients come in dealing with one or more of the following:
Loss of a spouse, parent, sibling, or close family member. Anticipatory grief while supporting a loved one through a terminal or serious diagnosis. Grief tied to a personal chronic illness or major health diagnosis. Caregiver burnout and the complicated grief that comes with caring for someone who is still alive but declining.
Sherri brings a clinical, credentialed approach — grounded in evidence-based practices like cognitive restructuring, supportive counseling, and psychoeducation — built specifically around grief rather than general talk therapy.
