Sherry Martinez

Sherry Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, grief, and other tough life challenges. She brings a calm, practical style and sees clients as the experts on their own stories. Her approach centers on building strengths and steady, realistic steps forward.

Sherry shifted careers in midlife from business management to social work after seeking more purpose. She completed a Master’s in Social Work and then two years of clinical supervision to earn her LCSW. Over a 25-year span she has worked with adults across a wide range of concerns and life stages.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and everyday tools. She uses methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts, notice what matters to them, and practice new ways of relating. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at practical change rather than jargon.

Sherry has long experience supporting people with complex and persistent conditions, including mood disorders and personality challenges, and she also addresses issues like addictions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and first responder concerns. She draws on different methods to match what each person needs.

Clients who contact her complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. She works in English and practices in Texas. Taking that first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process as manageable as possible.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values, which can reduce the power of difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own perspective, offering open listening and support so clients can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs and goals. This is a team process where preferences, life demands, and what’s been helpful before shape the plan.

Confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins. Some approaches lend themselves to brief skills practice or homework between sessions, which can be easier to complete when therapy fits into daily routines.
