Sherry Martinez , LCSW

Sherry Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 25 years of professional experience. She brings specialized training as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and extensive experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. Over the years she has worked with individuals managing bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and various personality disorders, providing care to adults from age 25 through 102.

Martinez made a mid-career transition from business management to clinical social work after seeking more purpose and direct human service. She returned to school to earn a Master of Social Work and completed two additional years of clinical supervision required to achieve her LCSW credential. That clinical training and life experience inform a practice grounded in respect for each person’s story and strengths.

Sherry approaches therapy with the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives and that change grows from recognizing and building on existing resources. She offers steady support during difficult transitions and challenging emotions, helping people identify practical tools and perspectives that support lasting coping and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sherry Martinez integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her online practice to match each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and develop psychological flexibility - it is useful for navigating anxiety, grief, and life changes by focusing on meaningful action rather than avoiding difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical skills and structured techniques, often helping with depression, anxiety, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their experiences at their own pace and build self-directed growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Martinez works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and she adjusts strategies over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals in a format that fits into daily life.
