About Sherry
Sherry Rantz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 28 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, LGBTQ topics, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and attention-related challenges.
Sherry draws on long experience in private practice, social service agencies, school social work, and teaching. She uses clear, direct conversations to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as reflecting on patterns that keep problems going.
Her clinical approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Jungian perspectives, and psychodynamic ideas. Those approaches guide how she helps people notice thoughts and feelings, practice small behavior changes, and make meaning from life events.
Sherry works with people who are dealing with grief, panic or phobic responses, social anxiety and isolation, and the strain that discrimination or identity questions can bring. She also addresses communication problems and family conflict by helping individuals clarify what matters to them and how they want to show up in relationships.
In sessions she tends to mix short-term coping skills with longer-term reflection about patterns and values. People can expect collaborative planning, tools to try between sessions, and conversation about how therapy is progressing. Sherry practices in Texas and conducts work in English.
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about life changes.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals and strengths. It supports work on self-esteem, identity questions, and relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into parts you can change with practice. It is often chosen for panic, phobias, sleep problems, and social anxiety.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and checking how they help.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life gets busy. It also lets people use written tools, worksheets, and in-session exercises that translate well to a remote meeting.
