About Sheryl

Sheryl is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Texas with 27 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier.
Background and approach
She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, parenting struggles, intimacy-related issues, anger, and attention-deficit challenges. In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their own story. Conversations are aimed at finding realistic next steps, reducing distress, and building on what already works.
She uses techniques that help change unhelpful thoughts, set clear goals, and make meaning from difficult events. Her background includes long-term work in clinical social work across a range of life stressors and complex health and caregiving situations. That experience informs a straightforward approach that balances practical tools and supportive listening.
People who choose her often want a calm, down-to-earth guide who helps them sort through emotions and make real changes. She encourages small, manageable shifts and checks in about what is working as therapy moves forward.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps identify strengths that can be used to move forward. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive, exploratory conversation about their goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes because it offers clear steps people can practice between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. It involves asking questions that draw out a person’s own reasons for wanting a different direction and builds motivation to try small steps toward that change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine methods together. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and usable.
Online formats offer flexibility for different rhythms of life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth; live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or written reflection between sessions. These choices help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily routines.
