About Sherry
Sherry Gould-Hillhouse, LPC brings a people-first approach to therapy. She has three years of clinical experience and works from Texas. Sherry holds a Master’s in Human Services and a Master’s in Counseling and uses those backgrounds to guide practical, everyday work with clients.
Sherry focuses on concerns like addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, career questions, bipolar mood challenges, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, communication and control problems, and recovery from domestic violence and substance use. In sessions she keeps language simple and direct. She helps people tell their stories, notice patterns, and choose which parts they want to change.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort level. Sherry draws on several approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These methods guide conversations about values, relationships, and coping skills while honoring each person’s experience.
Practical matters are discussed up front. She offers a sliding scale and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Sherry directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and skills-based approaches work online
Sherry uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from difficult stories they tell about their lives. This approach looks at the stories that shape choices and offers space to rewrite those narratives in ways that feel truer and more helpful.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. ACT can help when someone feels stuck by worry, shame, or uncertainty. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to notice patterns in close relationships and to develop safer ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the first steps in therapy. Sherry will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is made together and can change over time as progress or priorities shift.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or shorter conversations between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working toward goals from different places.
