About Sherry

Sherry Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and challenges tied to trauma and abuse. She works with individuals facing relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, career strain, and the complex effects of chronic illness. Her straightforward style aims to make a first conversation easier for someone who is unsure where to begin.

Sherry brings 25 years of experience in social work and clinical practice in Texas.

Background and approach

She changed careers midlife, returned to school for a Master of Social Work, and completed two years of clinical supervision to earn her LCSW. That path shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. In session she focuses on what matters to each person.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in emotions and connection, and combines that with tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and actions. Mindfulness and a client-centered stance are also part of how she works. Her background includes work with people coping with bipolar disorder, complex mood concerns, and long-term stress.

She also supports those facing career transitions, caregiver strain, first responder stress, and issues linked to family of origin or abandonment. Sherry offers sessions in English and practices from Texas. She aims to help people name their goals, try practical steps, and track what is working so they can build a more manageable daily life.

Online support

How online approaches and therapy methods fit together

Sherry uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change emotional patterns that affect relationships and personal connection. EFT focuses on identifying core emotions and the interactional cycles that keep painful feelings active, which can be useful for intimacy, attachment, and communication concerns.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments to change behaviors and mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort. That means trying ideas together, tracking progress, and adjusting what they do in sessions as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections, and quick coping reminders between longer sessions.
