About Sherry
Sherry Rantz is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 28 years of experience. She has worked in independent practice, social service agencies, and schools. Sherry aims to help people manage anxiety, grief, depression, and the everyday stresses that interrupt life.
Her approach is practical and respectful. She listens first, then helps people build steps they can try between sessions. Sessions focus on strengths and on small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans.
How Sherry works
Sherry uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients live by their values. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going.
People who come to her for relationship or intimacy concerns get a calm, steady presence and help with clearer communication. She also addresses parenting worries, sleep problems, anger, career stress, and challenges related to attention differences. Sherry attends to broader life contexts such as multicultural concerns, discrimination, and the effects of caregiving or compassion fatigue.
She works with issues around gender dysphoria, autism, intellectual disability, and social anxiety when those topics are part of the conversation. Her style is patient and nonjudgmental. She helps people set realistic goals and supports them as they practice new ways of coping.
The first step is simply talking through what feels most urgent and deciding on a next small move.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sherry often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and build small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and the behaviors that follow, which can ease anxiety, panic, and low mood.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust as needed. Sherry tailors interventions to each person's situation and helps clients test what works in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so clients can choose what fits their routine. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily demands.
