Sherry Jones-Williamson is a licensed clinical social worker with 32 years of experience offering compassionate therapeutic care in North Carolina. She earned her degree from East Carolina University and holds the credential LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker, which reflects advanced training in clinical social work.

Her clinical background is rooted largely in the inpatient psychiatric setting, where she developed particular expertise working with the geriatric population. Over the years she has also supported adults facing depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, anger management challenges, and the many stresses that accompany life changes and caregiving roles. Her additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, midlife concerns, and women's issues.

Sherry practices from a person-centered perspective, creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment that meets each person where they are. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients identify practical strategies, address ambivalence about change, and set achievable goals that improve daily functioning and overall quality of life. She is committed to building a strong rapport and partnering with clients as they work toward their goals.

Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Sherry uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an empathic, non-judgmental space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist supports personal growth; this approach is helpful for people facing life transitions, grief, low self-esteem, and relational stress. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing alternative strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Motivational Interviewing is another method she uses to address ambivalence about change by exploring values and goals and strengthening the motivation to take steps forward.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Sherry collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Sherry is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and mobility concerns. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and continue therapeutic progress from locations across North Carolina, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and meaningful goals.
