About Sherry
She works with individual adults and couples on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues related to LGBTQ identity and gender. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, communication challenges, jealousy, isolation, and the effects of past physical or sexual abuse and domestic violence. Sherry has extensive training in complex trauma and significant experience supporting adults who experienced childhood trauma.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Sherry creates an open and welcoming environment and identifies approaches that match each client's goals. Her practice hours are 5pm-9pm Monday through Friday and 10am-1pm on Saturdays. She generally responds at least once per day and sometimes more, and clients may book live sessions ahead of time. Sherry affirms LGBTQ individuals and aims to provide a safe, welcoming space for people of diverse identities and backgrounds.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance to reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation; it can support people dealing with anxiety, trauma responses, and ongoing stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable changes to move toward specific goals, making it useful for relationship issues, life transitions, and problem-solving when clients want actionable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sherry collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer connecting from home. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats, and access licensed professionals from a distance while tailoring the pace and style of therapy to the client's life.
