About Sherry
Sherry Gould-Hillhouse is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and challenges around anger and relationships. She also supports those dealing with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder and with issues like career strain and compassion fatigue.
Sherry takes a person-centered approach and treats clients as experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps: noticing patterns that fuel anger, building skills for distress tolerance, and practicing different ways to respond to triggers. Conversations are direct and focused on what is happening now and what change looks like in day-to-day life.
Her training background includes a Master’s in Human Services and a Master’s in Counseling. Sherry uses several evidence-based approaches in sessions, drawing on therapies that address emotion regulation, attachment patterns, and values-based action. She blends these methods rather than following a single script.
People who come to her often want straightforward strategies to reduce snapping or resentment, or tools to manage intense feelings without avoiding them. She also helps with co-occurring concerns such as substance use and eating-related problems when they connect to emotional regulation. Practical skills and brief experiments between sessions are common parts of the work.
Sherry offers a sliding scale and uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when strong emotions like anger come up. It emphasizes committed action and noticing thoughts without letting them drive behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in early and current relationships that shape emotional responses. It can help people see why they react strongly when they feel threatened or rejected and practice different ways of relating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when someone wants to reduce outbursts or manage intense shame or worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherry will collaborate with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what helps most. The plan is practical and evolving rather than fixed up front.
The specifics of session delivery should be confirmed before booking. If you are considering online work, note that therapists and licensed professionals often choose formats that fit a client's routine and technical needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce the need to travel. Confirm the session options available and how billing is handled before scheduling so sessions fit into everyday life.
