About Sherrie
Sherrie Mintz is a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief, and relationship concerns. She writes straightforwardly and makes room for each person's story. Her style is warm and respectful, aimed at helping adults find practical ways forward.
Sherrie listens first, then designs a plan with the person she is working with. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can be tried between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses conversational techniques to address low mood, anger, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. Her background includes four years of professional practice as an LCSW in Virginia. During that time she has supported people dealing with family problems, adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, and parenting-related stress.
She also works with issues connected to ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the fallout of separation or divorce. In sessions she blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and emotion-focused work. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing also appear when they fit a person's goals.
The aim is to make therapy understandable and useful, not abstract. Sherrie encourages a collaborative process. She helps people clarify what matters most, try manageable changes, and track what improves.
For parents, that often means learning ways to manage stress, communicate clearly, and strengthen connection with children and co-parents.

Approaches for parenting and family stress online
Sherrie often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered work means the conversation centers on the person's priorities and experience, while the therapist offers empathy and reflective feedback. Cognitive behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses elements of emotionally focused work to help people notice and shift interaction patterns that cause conflict or distance. That approach helps people recognize emotions that drive behaviors and then practice new ways of responding. Together these methods can address relationship tension, parenting stress, grief, and problems tied to attachment or family history.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherrie will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person feels ready to try.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face for deeper conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting and daily life.
