About Sherry
Sherry Gould-Hillhouse, LPC, brings a focused counseling path to people navigating addiction, trauma, grief, and major life shifts. She holds two master’s degrees - one in Human Services and one in Counseling - and practices from Texas. Sherry centers each session on listening first, then helping clients find concrete steps forward.
Her approach is practical and relational. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape patterns, and she draws on acceptance-based and attachment-focused ideas to help people sort what they want from what holds them back.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to name feelings, try new responses, and build clearer connections to values and goals. Sherry blends client-centered care with skills-based methods like dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions. She works with issues such as depression, bipolar challenges, eating and substance concerns, anger, and intimacy-related struggles.
Additional focuses include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, and communication problems. Therapy can include short skills practice, emotion-focused conversations, and planning to handle triggers and cravings. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. This process helps make sure sessions match the person’s goals and preferences before meeting.

How emotion-focused and skills-based approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting the emotions that drive recurring patterns. In online sessions this looks like naming core feelings, noticing how they affect decisions, and practicing new emotional responses to reduce distress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It helps clarify personal values and build small, committed actions toward those values, which can be especially useful for depression, anxiety, and substance concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can happen in the first few sessions and may evolve over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is good for full conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can fit brief check-ins, homework reviews, or support between longer appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain contact during transitions.
