Sherrie Mintz , LCSW

Sherrie Mintz is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She works with individuals coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related concerns. Sherrie writes care plans to fit each person's situation and meets people where they are in the moment.

Sherrie uses a conversational, respectful style in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, reachable goals. Conversations focus on practical steps people can use between meetings to feel steadier and more in control.

Her background includes four years of professional practice in Virginia as an LCSW. During that time she has supported people through divorce and separation, blended family stress, adoption and foster care questions, and family of origin issues. She also helps with anger, communication problems, and commitment concerns.

Sherrie draws on several approaches to shape sessions, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She adapts these tools to the problem at hand rather than using a single method on every person.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Sherrie helps clients identify small, doable changes and builds on what already works in their lives. The focus is on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead to create a plan that fits their life and goals. It helps people who need a supportive space to talk through sensitive issues and decide their 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. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete techniques to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and shift emotional responses that affect relationships and attachment. It can be useful when communication, commitment, or family connection feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before to shape a plan together. Adjustments are made as needed so the work stays aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping a steady continuity of care.
