About Sherrie
Sherrie Mintz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and grief. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more hopeful. Her style is respectful and compassionate, aimed at matching each session to the person in front of her.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions often focus on everyday problems like parenting strain, navigating family conflict, or coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges listed as ADHD.
Sherrie uses a mix of approaches to fit the situation. She leans on client-centered work that keeps the conversation grounded in the person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when practical thinking and behavior changes can ease symptoms. Emotionally-Focused and mindfulness strategies are added when emotions and connection patterns are central to the issue.
Her background includes four years of professional experience in clinical settings. She emphasizes clear, respectful dialogue and a plan that evolves as progress is made. She does not accept international clients and conducts work in English.
People often come to her for help with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and family of origin problems. She aims to make the process of starting therapy straightforward and focused on the immediate problems a person wants to address.
How these approaches shape online care
Sherrie uses client-centered work to keep the focus on the person's experience and priorities. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps clarify immediate needs and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used when changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors can reduce symptoms. CBT offers concrete exercises and small experiments that people can try between sessions to see what helps in daily life.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is brought in when relationships and attachment patterns are central. It helps people name emotions, understand interaction cycles, and practice new ways of connecting or responding to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the situation. That plan can change as progress is made, and input from the person directs the path forward.
