About Sheryl
Sheryl Harrington is a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. She values the courage it takes to reach out and start therapy and acknowledges each person as the expert on their own story.
In sessions she listens closely and draws on approaches that fit the person in front of her. That can include client-centered work to follow the client’s priorities and cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and change habits that keep anxiety and low mood running. She also uses solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
Sheryl has long experience with relationship and intimacy challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, and issues tied to ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with career strain, chronic illness, body image concerns, and blended family or adoption-related stresses. Her practice reflects a wide-ranging background across many life transitions.
Her style is direct but warm. She helps people name patterns, try small experiments, and adjust plans that aren’t working. Sheryl practices in Texas as an LCSW and conducts sessions in English.
To begin, she asks people to consider what they want to change and what a better week would look like. From there she works collaboratively to set clear, achievable steps and check progress along the way.
