About Sheryl
Sheryl Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and handling major life changes. Her background in education also shapes how she sees work-related pressure.
She keeps language simple and direct so a worried parent can understand what therapy will look like. With three years of clinical experience and more than 20 years in education, she draws on both settings to support people under strain.
Background and approach
That educational background gives her insight into the pressures teachers face and the challenges students encounter. She uses that perspective when addressing workplace issues and school-related stress. In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental space for people to talk about feelings and concerns.
She focuses on helping clients build coping skills and stronger self-worth. Conversations often include goal-setting and practical steps that can be used between appointments. Her approach blends client-centered listening with active strategies.
She works collaboratively to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new responses. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are used to increase awareness and sustain progress. Sheryl offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. She conducts work in English and sees people located in Texas.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Sheryl often combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to address anxiety and stress. Client-centered work means she listens without judgment and helps clients set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She may also use dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and coping. DBT skills include techniques for tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and strained relationships. Together, these approaches are chosen to match the person’s needs and goals rather than fixed at the start.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each client about what feels helpful and adjust methods over time. Goals, preferences, and daily demands guide how techniques are combined so work in sessions connects to life outside appointments.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, and family commitments.
