About Sherry

Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (SC LISW-CP), 30 years of experience. Sherry Martell helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and major life changes. She also focuses on caregiver stress and mood disorders and offers practical support for everyday coping.

Sherry uses client-centered conversations alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals and on learning skills that can be used between meetings. She prefers plain language and step-by-step tools rather than long theory discussions.

In early sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems going. Then she and the person work on small, concrete changes. That might include trying new ways of thinking, practicing emotion regulation skills, or changing routines that add stress.

Sherry draws on long clinical experience to offer straightforward guidance and steady follow-through. She helps people sort immediate challenges while also building longer-term coping. Progress is tracked in practical ways so adjustments can be made when needed.

Clients should expect a collaborative process that balances problem-solving and skill building. People interested in starting are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to follow the site's steps to match and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and working remotely

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and on listening without judgment. It helps people explore feelings and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for reducing intense emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherry will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will choose techniques that fit the person’s needs. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches depending on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, fit short sessions around a break at work, or reduce travel time. It also allows therapists to share worksheets, practice skills between meetings, and track progress over time. Ask about available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so timing and practical arrangements meet your needs.
