About Sherry

Sherry Gould-Hillhouse is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings three years of practice to people facing addiction, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her work centers on listening closely and helping clients find practical ways forward.

She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about painful experiences at their own pace. Sherry emphasizes the person’s own knowledge of their life and priorities. Sessions focus on what matters most to each client and on workable steps for change.

Her approach draws from several therapies that help with emotions, relationships, and behavior. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered listening, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and Emotionally-Focused methods. She blends these to match each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.

Sherry works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, eating and food-related issues, anger, intimacy-related problems, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment, abandonment, body image, codependency, and the effects of trauma and domestic violence.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and availability. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How specific approaches are used in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters most and on taking small actions consistent with personal values, which can help with depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current behavior. It can be useful for people struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, or repeated relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest how to combine methods. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend regular sessions. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or meetings that fit a lunch break, and they often make it simpler to practice skills between appointments.
