About Sherry

Sherry Burton is an LPC based in Texas with seven years of experience as a licensed counselor and a long history working in juvenile services.

Background and approach

Her earlier roles included seven years as a social worker for a youth commission and 29 years as a juvenile probation officer, during which she provided individual and family counseling and supervision.

That background shaped a practice focused on stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, grief and loss, and a wide range of concerns including mood, addiction, trauma, and life transitions. She approaches clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and adapts conversation and treatment plans to each person’s needs.

Areas of attention listed in her practice include intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career and coping with life changes, ADHD, and other concerns such as abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Sherry emphasizes practical collaboration and encourages people to recognize the courage in reaching out for help.

Prospective clients can expect a tailored therapeutic process that draws on evidence-based techniques and years of hands-on experience in counseling and probation settings. She aims to build a supportive working relationship and to help clients move toward clearer coping strategies and improved well-being.

Approaches to ADHD and Related Concerns in Online Care

Sherry draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a collaborative way. One common approach focuses on cognitive and behavioral strategies that help people identify unhelpful thinking and build new skills for managing stress, anxiety, attention challenges, and daily routines. These techniques are useful for mood regulation, impulsivity, and organizing practical steps toward goals.

Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and coping skills tailored to life transitions, relationship strains, grief, and caregiving stress. This style breaks down larger challenges into manageable steps, supports clearer communication, and strengthens strategies for handling setbacks and triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore a client's needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or adapt methods that fit the situation. That collaborative process helps create a personalized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments around work and family obligations, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client.
