Online support
Approaches that translate well to online work
Sherry frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on the values that guide action. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical, testable changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions often mix approaches so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online care is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to get regular support. Video allows face-to-face work when that helps, phone can be a quicker option with less bandwidth, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping the focus on clear steps and steady progress.
