About Sherry

Sherry Graves, LCSW, CSW, brings a client-centered approach to work focused on trauma and recovery. She speaks plainly and offers a steady presence for people ready to begin healing. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping individuals move beyond painful experiences and rebuild a sense of purpose.

She uses techniques from Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who want change but feel stuck or unsure how to start.

Sherry has 16 years of clinical experience and has worked in a range of mental health and substance use settings. That background includes community programs, hospitals, and coordinated teams with social services and courts. She draws on those experiences when supporting people with addictions, depression, bipolar challenges, and trauma-related concerns.

Her focus areas include codependency, domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, drug and alcohol addiction, self-harm, and struggles with self-esteem. She also helps with issues like infidelity, life purpose, paranoia, and women's concerns. The aim is to address what matters most to each person in practical, manageable steps.

Sherry practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. She describes her work as a calling to help people find strength in their scars and to move toward recovery and greater self-love.

Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and letting each person lead the pace of work, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives simple tools to change patterns that cause distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences and building skills to reduce their ongoing impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time as progress and priorities change, so the client helps shape what comes next.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and reduce travel time. It can allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, or regular hour-long sessions when deeper work is needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and support ongoing recovery while helping people balance therapy with everyday responsibilities.
