Sherry Martinez, LCSW

Sherry Martinez is a Texas-licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing midlife transitions, stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She draws on 25 years of experience to support clients navigating big life changes and emotional challenges. Her approach centers on clear, practical steps that fit each person's situation.

She came to therapy work after a midlife career change from business management. That lived experience shapes how she talks about purpose and career strain. She completed a Master’s in Social Work and then two years of clinical supervision to earn her Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW.

In sessions she treats concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, and she also addresses relationship, intimacy, and family of origin issues. She uses a blend of methods to match a person’s needs rather than one fixed style.

Her practice emphasizes respect for each person’s story and strengths. She helps clients set small, manageable goals and learn tools they can use between sessions. Conversations are practical and focused on what the client wants to change.

Sherry offers care in English and practices in Texas. She has worked with adults across a wide age range and is experienced supporting people through both sudden loss and slow transitions. She encourages potential clients to take the first step when they feel ready.

How Sherry’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and then taking committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can help when someone feels stuck during a midlife transition or is struggling with ongoing anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, using empathy and active listening to help people find their own solutions and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and practical.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins around work or caregiving schedules. It also makes it possible to continue therapy through relocations or schedule changes while keeping the same licensed professional.
