About Sherrie
Sherrie Mintz is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship or family struggles.

With four years of experience, Sherrie adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation. She draws on approaches that emphasize the person’s own goals and strengths.
How Sherrie works
Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, learning calm-down skills, and trying new ways to connect with others. Sherrie works with concerns that range from parenting strain and coping with life changes to anger and self-esteem. She also supports people facing issues linked to adoption, attachment, autism, blended family dynamics, and family-of-origin problems.
She can help when someone is dealing with compassion fatigue or the particular challenges of fatherhood. Her practice blends client-centered listening with hands-on tools from cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused approaches. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit the goals of the person in therapy.
The aim is to build manageable habits that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Sherrie practices in Virginia and holds the LCSW credential, which is listed as VA LCSW. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and partnering with the person to set goals and pace. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and adjusts conversation to their needs, which works well over video or chat. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is easy to practice skills between sessions and review progress during calls.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. This collaborative process makes it easier to identify the best mix of strategies over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when they want visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging provide quick check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care.
