About Sherry

Sherry Holder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and aimed at people looking for direct, practical help.

Sherry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness tools when they fit a person's goals. In sessions she listens, reflects what she hears, and suggests concrete skills to practice between meetings.

Her background includes working with a range of interlinked concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence, emptiness, family of origin issues, impulsivity, mood and personality related challenges, and panic attacks. The focus is on manageable steps rather than long lectures. Sessions often include practical exercises, short skills coaching, and clear plans for trying new coping strategies in daily life.

Sherry’s approach is straightforward. She helps people break problems into smaller parts and test what changes feel sustainable. She encourages ongoing feedback so sessions stay focused on what is most useful.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions

Sherry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that increase stress or anxiety and then try alternative responses. CBT focuses on concrete steps - tracking thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and practicing new habits between sessions.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions in line with those values even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy is used to reflect what a person says and let the pace come from the client, which can make skills work feel more relevant.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help you and her determine which methods fit your goals and preferences, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process means techniques may shift from session to session based on what helps most.

The therapist's written profile does not specify which online session formats are provided. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while still focusing on practical skills and homework between meetings.
