Sherry Jones-Williamson , LCSW

Sherry Jones-Williamson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with 32 years of professional experience. She earned her degree from East Carolina University and has spent much of her career working in inpatient psychiatric settings, with a particular focus on the geriatric population.

She is committed to meeting people where they are and creating a supportive, non-judgmental, open-minded space for clients to pursue their goals. Her clinical work includes helping adults facing depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, anger management challenges, stress, family concerns, grief, bipolar conditions, low self-esteem, and transitions related to aging, caregiving, and midlife changes.

Sherry approaches care from a person-centered perspective, emphasizing collaboration and respect for each individual’s values and priorities. Her preferred treatment methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps clients identify and practice alternative strategies to better manage symptoms, and Motivational Interviewing, a client-focused approach that aids in resolving ambivalence and setting achievable goals. She aims to support clients in developing practical life skills and improving day-to-day functioning.

Sherry is eager to establish rapport and work alongside clients to enhance their quality of life through focused, compassionate therapeutic support.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sherry Jones-Williamson uses person-centered care alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a respectful, empathetic relationship that supports personal growth and clearer decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and learn practical skills to respond differently to stress, anxiety, depression, and other emotional difficulties. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore ambivalence and find their own reasons for change, which can be especially useful when facing life transitions or persistent behavioral challenges.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sherry works collaboratively with clients to determine what methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Sherry can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access timely support, and continue therapy from familiar surroundings while working with a licensed professional.
