About Sherry
Sherry Rantz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 28 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing common life problems like anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and major life changes. Her practice also notes interests in relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, LGBT issues, and challenges tied to attention and sensory differences.
Sherry draws on long experience across settings - private practice, social service agencies, schools, and teaching - to offer straightforward support. She listens first, helps identify practical steps, and uses talk and exercises to address symptoms and daily obstacles. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way now and what might make everyday life easier.
Her approach can include methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, Jungian ideas, and psychodynamic perspectives. That mix lets her address both immediate coping skills and deeper patterns that affect feelings and relationships. She uses concrete strategies when anxiety, sleep problems, anger, or panic are the main concern.
Sherry also lists additional focus areas such as autism and Asperger syndrome, communication and family problems, gender dysphoria, intellectual disability, and multicultural or discrimination-related stress. These topics are woven into treatment when relevant to the person’s situation.
Throughout her career she has emphasized respectful, strengths-based work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to clarify goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions by encouraging small, value-driven steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It often involves practical exercises for sleep, panic, anxiety, and mood symptoms to reduce immediate distress.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and aims to build understanding through open listening and reflection. It can support people who feel stuck and want to clarify what matters to them.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose strategies based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they address practical problems and longer-running patterns.
The profile does not list which specific online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, shorten commutes, and allow flexible scheduling such as mid-day check-ins or evening appointments. Discuss format preferences during the first appointment so sessions are arranged to suit routine and practical constraints.
