About Sherry
Sherry Martell is a licensed social worker who uses a client-centered approach to support people through hard times. With 30 years of practice as an LISW-CP in South Carolina, she helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain.
She spends time listening first and tailoring the pace to each person. Sessions focus on practical coping skills and on understanding feelings so everyday problems feel more manageable. Parents and caregivers often turn to her for help with caregiver stress and changes in family roles.
Sherry integrates straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they fit a person’s needs. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and build steady habits that reduce distress over time.
Her style is calm and collaborative. She works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and checks in about progress. The work is practical - small steps that add up to better day-to-day functioning.
People seeking help are invited to think about what matters most to them and to bring that to sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist provides a nonjudgmental space and follows the client’s lead to identify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving emotional regulation, and handling conflict in relationships.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and daily life, then recommend techniques that fit. That plan can change over time as progress and preferences become clearer.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to practice skills between meetings. Because the biography does not list session formats, confirm the current session options before booking to know what will work best for your routine.
