Sherry Jones-Williamson , LCSW

Sherry Jones-Williamson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 32 years of clinical experience. She received her degree from East Carolina University and has built a long career focused on working in inpatient psychiatric settings.

Much of her work has centered on the geriatric population, where she developed expertise in addressing the complex needs that can accompany aging. She emphasizes meeting people where they are and creating a supportive, non-judgmental, open-minded space to help them move toward their goals.

Sherry has experience supporting individuals coping with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and anger management challenges. She aims to help clients build practical life skills and improve daily functioning so they can navigate stressors and transitions more effectively.

Her practice is grounded in a person-centered perspective, and she frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. In her work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy she helps clients identify and practice alternative strategies to better manage symptoms. With Motivational Interviewing she adopts a client-focused stance to explore ambivalence and support realistic goal-setting. She looks forward to establishing rapport and partnering with clients to enhance their quality of life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sherry uses approaches that emphasize collaboration and practical skill-building. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an accepting, empathetic environment in which clients explore their concerns and identify their own solutions - it is well suited to people who want a supportive, goal-directed relationship with their therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice alternative strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it often supports work on anxiety, depression, and problem-solving.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a client-focused method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and clarify their personal goals. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Sherry will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy with Sherry is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who have mobility or geographic limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional and therapist who tailors the work to each client's situation.
