About Sherry
Sherry Jones-Williamson is a licensed clinical social worker with a long history supporting people facing anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and stress. She works to help clients build life skills that improve daily functioning and manage difficult emotions. Sherry uses straightforward language and practical steps in sessions.
Sherry earned her degree from East Carolina University and has practiced for 32 years. Much of her work was in inpatient psychiatric settings where she focused on the geriatric population.
Background and approach
That setting gave her experience with complex mood conditions and caregiving challenges. She prefers a person-centered way of working that starts with where each client actually is. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the person, and setting realistic goals together.
The approach is flexible and grounded in everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a regular part of her work. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to manage symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing is also used to help people resolve mixed feelings about change and move toward clear goals. Sherry also supports concerns related to aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, midlife transitions, and women’s issues. Her experience includes helping people cope with bipolar disorder and family-related stress.
She aims to build a respectful working relationship and practical plans for change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sherry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and practical homework to practice between meetings.She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a client-focused method that helps people explore mixed feelings about change. This approach supports setting clear, achievable goals when someone feels unsure about taking the next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sherry collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging lets people send short updates or reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep steady progress.
