About Sherry
Dr. Sherry Marasse is an LPC with 12 years of clinical experience based in Texas. She helps people who are coping with social anxiety and phobia, depression, stress, career shifts, grief, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and questions around life purpose and self-worth.
Her approach focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions typically involve talking through what feels most pressing, identifying small changes that can make daily life easier, and practicing skills that reduce anxiety in social settings. She works with people who are exploring identity and relationship styles, including non-monogamous arrangements, and addresses money worries and veteran-related issues.
Sherry draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and integrates coaching-style work when appropriate. She encourages activities between sessions, such as brief experiments in social situations or reflective exercises about values and goals. This helps clients test new ways of relating without overwhelming change.
She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and holds experience supporting LGBTQ people, veterans, and those from adoption or foster care backgrounds. Her practice pays attention to practical barriers to change and helps clients find manageable steps forward.
People who reach out can expect direct conversation about what is happening now, clear discussion of options, and focused work on skills for social situations, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Approach and what online sessions involve
Dr. Marasse uses evidence-based techniques that focus on measurable change. One common approach emphasizes skill practice for anxiety - clients learn short behavioral experiments and specific strategies to reduce worry in social settings. This helps people test new behaviors in real situations and notice what works.She also draws on cognitive methods that look at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Those methods help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced alternatives, which can reduce avoidance and increase confidence in social interactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and then try methods that fit day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps narrow down techniques and adjust them as progress is observed.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping follow-ups brief when needed. If you need options for session pacing or shorter check-ins, confirm the current session formats before booking. The focus is on making therapy fit daily life while using approaches that address social anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions.
