About Sherry
Sherry Escudero is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 20 years of experience in the field. She has worked in community clinics, foster care, and with the military, and she focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Her approach emphasizes a dependable therapeutic relationship and practical, down-to-earth support.
Sherry uses a person-centered stance that centers the client's experience. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include conversations about coping skills, communication, and ways to handle life changes and career stress. Sherry also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments that can change feelings and behavior. That approach is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and problems like low self-esteem or trouble concentrating.
She aims to keep techniques simple and applicable to daily life. Clients who reach out can expect a supportive tone and practical steps between sessions. Sherry attends to issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.
She also helps people facing isolation, divorce, seasonal mood changes, and challenges tied to military life. Her work is collaborative: she helps people clarify priorities, test new habits, and track small gains. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier coping so people feel more able to manage what comes next.
How her approaches translate to online care
Sherry uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's needs and priorities. That means sessions start with listening and building a working relationship, and then moving toward goals the client chooses. This approach helps with issues like relationship strain, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT techniques include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to test new outcomes, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and some attention challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean combining person-centered support with CBT tools and checking in regularly to adjust the plan.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match practical needs. Video calls are useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, between-session support, or when keeping a written record of thoughts is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
