More about Sherry
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in Texas with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & depression, and LGBTQIA+. I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional; I also have many years experience treating individuals with Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder and Personality Disorders. I changed careers mid-life. When I was in my forties, I realized the work I was in (business management) did not provide the sense of achievement and purpose I was looking for. I returned to school and was able to obtain my Master's in Social Work; underwent two additional years of clinical supervision to achieve my Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with individuals from all walks of life, from ages 25 to 102, who all had their own unique stories to relate. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sherry is absolutely amazing! I’ve never felt more heard by a therapist, and the tangible resources she’s provided have helped me more than words can describe. I would highly recommend Sherry to anyone who needs a therapist.
She is like the wise older aunt I wish I had. She is so funny and supportive, and gives amazing advice :)
Ms. Sherry is awesome. Just contact her! You will be so happy you did. She helped me after my wife of 22 yrs passed and I am so lucky to have her through these times of transition.
Sherry is kind and encouraging!
Sherry is a great listener and offers thought-provoking insights and advice. I love her staight-forward style.
Sherry is very relatable and easy to talk to. She recognized issues in me that needed discussing that I wasn’t even aware of. I am getting the help I need and am so thankful for the help Sherry is giving me.
Love her blunt honesty!!
Great
Couldn't ask for better...
Sherry is very attentive in the session. She identified with my elderly father right away and made him feel comfortable.I would recomend using Sherry.
This is my first time in any sort of therapy and Sherry has made it such an amazing experience. She’s understanding, she listens, she’s so incredibly knowledgeable in such a wide variety of things and offers so many different personalized options when it comes to coping and processing my emotions.
Sherry has been nothing but sweet and supportive towards me. I truly feel she understands me and is active in helping me better myself and my mind.
She’s the best!!
