About Sherry
Sherry Rantz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience practicing in Texas. She offers practical help for common struggles such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and anger. Her style is straightforward and respectful, and she aims to meet people where they are.
Sherry has worked in independent practice, social service agencies, schools, and as a teacher. That variety shaped a flexible approach to problems that appear at different life stages.
Background and approach
She tailors each session to the person in front of her instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. In sessions she draws on methods that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These approaches translate to hands-on steps - learning ways to respond to difficult thoughts, practicing clearer communication, and testing small changes between meetings.
She also brings experience with grief, LGBT concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, ADHD, relationship and family stress, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation. That background informs practical strategies for sleeping problems, parenting stress, career decisions, and intimacy-related concerns. Sherry emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while focusing on strengths.
She helps people identify small, doable changes and supports them as they try those changes in real life. The aim is clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, then identify values and take small actions that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and depression symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s needs, using empathic listening to help people gain clarity and confidence.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new concerns appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when video bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can support quick problem-solving, journaling between sessions, or ongoing check-ins during a transition. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
