About Sherry
Sherry Gould-Hillhouse, LPC, brings a focused counseling path to people dealing with addiction, trauma, and major life changes. She earned a Master’s in Human Services and a Master’s in Counseling and practices from Texas. Her style centers on listening first and helping clients name what matters to them.
In sessions she keeps language straightforward. People can expect calm explanations and practical steps rather than jargon. The work often starts with figuring out immediate concerns and small, manageable goals.
Sherry uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She combines these methods to match what a person needs in the moment, whether that means learning new coping skills, making sense of attachment patterns, or tolerating strong feelings.
She helps people address a wide range of concerns. These include addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, bipolar symptoms, eating and body image issues, relationship and intimacy challenges, codependency, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Sherry encourages clients to bring their experience into the room and to set the pace. Her aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for dealing with addiction, anxiety, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change those patterns to improve connections. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving how you cope with stress and conflict.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sherry will work with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and daily life. That collaborative process often starts with simple goals and adjusts as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid video when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is preferred. Licensed professionals can use online work to keep momentum between in-person visits and to make regular check-ins more practical.
