About Sherry
Sherry Holder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She draws on four years of clinical experience to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, trauma, or depression. Her approach is straightforward and supportive.
She aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to take the next steps toward feeling better. In sessions she focuses on listening first and learning what matters to each person.
Background and approach
She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice patterns that worsen anxiety and mood. She also brings in mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people tolerate difficult feelings without getting stuck. Sherry values a collaborative process.
She works with each person to set small, achievable goals and to build skills that fit real life. That may include improving communication, managing panic symptoms, or addressing painful experiences from the past. Her background in client-centered care guides how she meets people in session.
She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and explored. The work is paced to what each person can handle, with attention to safety and practical coping. Sherry also uses principles from dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation or impulsivity are concerns.
She supports people dealing with attachment wounds, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and patterns like codependency. Her goal is to help people feel more in charge of their choices and better able to handle life as it comes.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and stress care
Sherry commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life despite emotional pain.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses to reduce anxiety and panic. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and what feels useful. From that conversation they pick or combine approaches that match the client's needs and pace the work collaboratively.
Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work through material face-to-face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it possible to practice skills, track progress, and stay connected to a therapist while balancing daily responsibilities.
