About Sherry

Sherry Holder is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a compassionate, client-centered stance.

Background and approach

Drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based tools, she helps people explore patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, and parenting challenges. Sherry emphasizes collaborative work to set clear, achievable goals and develop coping skills that fit each person's day-to-day life.

Her practice also addresses related concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication struggles, dissociation, and mood or personality presentations. With four years of professional experience in North Carolina, she creates an open space where clients can voice difficult feelings without judgment and practice new ways of responding to painful experiences.

Sherry frames change as a courageous process and offers steady support and empowerment as clients take the steps they choose toward greater well-being.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Sherry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core tools in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. ACT emphasizes values-based action and willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while building meaningful life goals, often supporting work around trauma, avoidance, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews a clients goals, preferences, and presenting concerns to determine which combination of methods may be most helpful, and adjustments are made over time based on what works for the individual.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer greater flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats allow clients to practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while enabling a consistent working relationship with licensed professionals regardless of location within North Carolina.
