Sherrie Mintz, LCSW

Sherrie Mintz is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and grief. She writes treatment plans to fit each person's situation and meets people where they are. Her approach is respectful and grounded in sensitivity and compassion.

Sherrie uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to a client. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person's lead, and on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotionally-focused methods help when relationship patterns or strong feelings get in the way.

Sessions focus on concrete steps and useful skills. That can mean learning ways to manage anxiety, handling family conflict more clearly, or making decisions after a loss. Mindfulness practices are offered when breathing and attention skills will help regulate emotion.

She has four years of professional experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in Virginia. Sherrie is comfortable addressing parenting concerns, adoption and foster care questions, attachment and fatherhood issues, and problems like compassion fatigue and low self-esteem.

People who work with her can expect a practical, collaborative process. She asks questions, listens closely, and adjusts plans as needed. To start, clients choose what they want to work on and move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. In online sessions this looks like putting the client's goals first and shaping each meeting around what the client brings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; in remote sessions this often includes setting small practice exercises between meetings and checking progress together. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and change patterns in close relationships by tracking feelings and responses during conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the client's needs and preferences over time.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only sessions if they need a lower-bandwidth option or prefer not to be on camera. Ask about available formats when scheduling so sessions align with daily life and goals.
