Sherry Gould-Hillhouse , LPC

Sherry Gould-Hillhouse, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addiction, trauma, grief, mood concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem and relationships. Sherry aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can speak honestly and explore what matters to them.

Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Sherry uses tools from several therapy styles to help people manage strong emotions, cope with life changes, and improve close relationships. She often focuses on how attachment patterns and emotional habits affect daily life and decision making.

Sessions typically look like guided conversation with concrete skills practice. Clients can expect to learn ways to handle intense feelings, reduce unhelpful behaviors, and build clearer communication. The work also includes exploring patterns linked to abandonment, codependency, body image, and eating concerns.

Sherry also supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, anger, and co-occurring mood conditions such as bipolar disorder or depression. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and helps clients find small, realistic steps forward.

Therapy is offered in multiple online formats to fit different needs. Sherry speaks English and practices in Texas. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their routine.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life changes, low mood, or avoidance are getting in the way of living the way someone wants.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach helps people notice repetitive relationship habits, understand their roots, and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine approaches over time to fit what’s most useful.

Online therapy offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging helps people process between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
