About Sherry
Sherry Rantz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience in Texas. She has worked in private practice, social service agencies, schools, and as a teacher. Sherry helps people who are facing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, stress, and sleep-related concerns. She aims to meet each person where they are and tailor sessions to their needs.
Her approach is grounded in listening first and building on strengths. Sherry uses practical strategies to manage anxiety, cope with grief, and address relationship and family concerns. She can talk through parenting stress, career worries, and issues around identity and discrimination. Sessions often focus on small, usable steps people can try between meetings.
Sherry draws from several therapeutic traditions depending on what fits best. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and handle difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used for managing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered and psychodynamic ideas inform how she listens for patterns and personal meaning.
Her background includes work with autistic clients and people navigating gender dysphoria, multicultural concerns, and intellectual disability. She also addresses panic, phobias, social anxiety, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sherry emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session.
People who seek a steady, experienced clinician for stress, sleep problems, relationship or identity questions may find her helpful. She encourages a collaborative process and tailors the work to each individual’s goals.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and insomnia. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, giving people space to tell their story and find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to keep regular appointments around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered work to an online format so that exercises, value-setting, and behavioral experiments continue between sessions.
