About Sherry

Sherry Escudero is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with two decades of professional experience. She has provided care across community clinics, foster care settings, and with military-connected clients, supporting people through depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career transitions, and trauma.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional support, drawing on twenty years of work with diverse concerns including ADHD, grief, bipolar issues, and compassion fatigue. Sherry favors a person-centered stance that places the therapeutic relationship at the core of change.

She aims to create a collaborative atmosphere where clients feel heard and can explore goals at their own pace, while offering cognitive-behavioral techniques when structured tools are helpful. She approaches each person’s situation as unique, combining empathy with actionable steps to cope with life changes, communication difficulties, isolation, and workplace stress.

Clients seeking guidance are offered a supportive environment intended to empower decision making and resilience building. Sherry encourages those ready to pursue growth to take the initial step toward support, helping them clarify priorities and develop skills for healthier day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Sherry uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes listening, empathy, and collaboration; this method focuses on understanding each person's experience and creating a therapeutic relationship that supports exploration and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of her practice and offers concrete, skills-based strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping tools useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to weigh which methods feel most helpful and adjusts techniques based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so that therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are offered through several remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel time. These options help clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and they allow for different paces of communication depending on what a client finds most comfortable.
