About Sherry
Sherry Graves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on 16 years of clinical experience to help people facing addiction, trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps toward recovery and on helping people build self-worth. Sherry practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.
Her work uses client-centered methods to meet each person where they are. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop healthier habits.
How Sherry works
Motivational interviewing helps people find the reasons they want change and take steady steps toward it. Sherry has a long history supporting those affected by sexual assault, domestic violence, and codependency. She has worked in substance abuse programs and with drug courts, bringing experience in alcohol and drug addiction into talk-based treatment.
People seeking help for self-harm, paranoia, or struggles with life purpose can expect an approach that balances encouragement with concrete strategies. In sessions she aims to create a warm, respectful space where clients can talk through painful memories and current stresses. She emphasizes empowerment and recovery rather than blame.
The focus is on small, achievable goals and on building strength from personal experience. Sherry’s background includes collaboration with interdisciplinary teams and work in hospitals and community programs. That experience informs a flexible, real-world approach to care.
If someone wants a therapist who centers empathy and practical change, Sherry offers that combination.

Online support options
How key approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects back what is said, helps clients name feelings, and supports their goals in a respectful way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and patterns tied to addiction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized, and the plan can change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel more like an in-person visit. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins and flexible contact between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
