About Sherry
Sherry Gould-Hillhouse, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor based in Texas. She draws on two master's degrees to guide people through addiction, trauma, grief, and anger. Sherry aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk and begin to make changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what feels overwhelming now and what small steps can help. She uses approaches that emphasize values, emotion, and building stronger connections with others.
Background and approach
Sherry often helps people who are coping with life changes, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar symptoms, or compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, eating and body-image issues, and problems with control or codependency. Anger and communication difficulties are part of her focus as well.
Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and the challenges that accompany co-occurring conditions. People on the autism spectrum and those facing domestic violence or substance use struggles are also within her stated focus areas. Sherry prefers a collaborative style.
She listens first, then offers tools from acceptance-based and skills-focused approaches. Sessions are paced to match each person’s comfort and goals, with options for shorter check-ins or more in-depth work as needed.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for coping with grief, addiction triggers, or persistent worries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, which often helps with anger, impulsive behavior, and intense mood swings. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connection patterns shape current relationships and helps people build safer ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. This collaborative process helps clarify whether skills practice, values work, or relationship-focused sessions feel most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good choice when less bandwidth is available or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, flexible exchanges when that suits their schedule. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel demands while keeping the same therapeutic aims.
