Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sherry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on understanding a person's wants and doubts about change, and it helps build motivation to try new steps toward goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each client to decide which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. That means sessions may include skill practice, goal-setting, or short experiments to see what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide more flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can support brief updates, coaching, or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue consistent work toward change.
