Sherry Gould-Hillhouse

Sherry Gould-Hillhouse, LPC, brings three years of clinical experience and a clear focus on helping people facing strong emotional and behavioral challenges. She has a Master’s in Human Services and a Master’s in Counseling. Sherry centers her work on trauma, PTSD, and addiction while also addressing anger, grief, depression, and related concerns. Sherry aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about their lives. She listens for what matters most and helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions are paced to fit each person’s comfort and goals. Her approach draws from several therapies that emphasize feelings, relationships, and practical skills. She uses techniques that help people clarify values, tolerate difficult emotions, and improve communication with others. These tools are useful for worries like self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. Sherry also works with concerns such as addiction, eating and body-image issues, bipolar and depressive symptoms, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and problems with control or commitment. She offers a sliding scale to increase affordability and strives to make sessions supportive and accessible. Sherry practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. If someone wants to begin, they can use the platform Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with her.

Approaches that guide online work

Sherry uses approaches that focus on values, relationships, and practical skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, addiction, and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach can help when attachment issues, abandonment, or intimacy problems make connection difficult. Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what fits the client’s needs and responses. Confirm the available session options before booking, since specific formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, offer shorter check-ins when appropriate, and reduce travel time. They also allow for flexible timing around work or caregiving, and for using emotion-regulation and communication exercises in the moment during conversations with the therapist.
