About Sherry

Sherry Ramsey Hansen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her practice also includes concerns such as attachment and abandonment, family of origin issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and identity-related struggles like gender dysphoria and body image.

Sherry focuses on helping people notice patterns that started in childhood and still affect relationships and decisions today. She listens to current difficulties and the earlier experiences that feed them. Sessions are practical and conversational, with an emphasis on clearer thinking and steadier coping.

Her approach blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness tools. She also uses solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to help people set and reach short-term goals. This mix is used to address symptoms and to practice different ways of responding in everyday life.

In sessions she helps clients name recurring roles or expectations from their family of origin. Then she works with them to try new responses, reduce unhelpful patterns, and practice self-directed change. Expect straightforward discussion, skills to manage anxiety or intrusive thoughts, and steps to increase confidence when facing change.

Sherry offers work that is practical and down-to-earth. Adults who worry that childhood patterns are steering their choices often find this approach useful. She conducts work in English and sees clients in Oklahoma.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and supporting the client to lead the conversation. It helps when people want a respectful, collaborative space to explore how childhood roles affect them now.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive patterns that come from family of origin dynamics.

Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness. This can help with stress, intrusive thoughts, and grounding during difficult memories.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences with the client and try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most in weekly work.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since none are listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused tasks to work well in remote sessions.
