She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and brings 25 years of experience to each conversation. Her tone is steady and practical, aimed at parents who need clear, straightforward support.

How Sherry works
Sessions are aimed at making daily life more manageable and meaningful. Her background includes long-term clinical work with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns. She has worked with people across a wide age range and with many different life situations.
That breadth helps her tailor strategies to a person’s situation rather than use one fixed approach. Sherry uses practical therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness work alongside client-centered listening. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques when relationships and intimacy issues are part of the picture.
The result is a mix of skill-building and emotional processing. People who meet with Sherry can expect clear goals, homework when useful, and regular check-ins about progress. She supports people dealing with relationship strains, career stress, compassion fatigue, and identity questions.
Her approach emphasizes steady steps toward better coping and greater self-understanding.

How Sherry’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters. It focuses on identifying values and taking small steps that match those values, which can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for stress, depression, and anxiety where concrete skills and thought work can ease daily functioning.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to increase awareness and reduce reactivity. Short exercises can help with emotion regulation, stress management, and staying grounded during hard moments.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to set goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. That collaborative process makes therapy more likely to fit each individual’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
