About Sherrie
Sherrie Mintz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, grief and loss, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on concerns such as compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Sherrie uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that make problems worse. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then tries different ways of responding. Sessions are aimed at practical steps that fit into day-to-day life rather than abstract theory.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking and behavior, Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship feelings are central. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing also appear in sessions when they help break a stuck pattern or increase motivation for change.
Sherrie adapts the pace and focus based on what a person needs right now. She will work with someone to set small, realistic goals and track progress over time. Conversations include teaching specific skills, practicing them in session, and planning steps to try between meetings.
She practices in Virginia and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online sign-up process.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Sherrie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve setting concrete goals, practicing skills in session, and assigning short experiments to try between meetings.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the conversation focused on the person's concerns and priorities, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship feelings need attention. Client-Centered work is about listening and reflecting so people can decide next steps. EFT looks at patterns in emotional responses and helps change how people respond to one another.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first few sessions. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so work continues between sessions.
