About Sherry

Sherry Ramsey Hansen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She brings eight years of experience helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, stress, or painful life changes.

Background and approach

Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. Sherry focuses on understanding each person’s story and how past experiences still shape daily life.

She uses Internal Family Systems, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor sessions to the individual. Sessions include looking at patterns, practicing new ways to cope, and noticing small changes that add up.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, realistic goals.

Therapy often includes learning tools for handling stress, shifting self-critical thinking, and building steadier confidence. Sherry also supports people dealing with issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and codependency.

She pays attention to how these concerns show up in relationships and daily routines, and works with clients to find practical, do-able steps forward. Her style is gentle but purposeful.

She aims to create a space where people can be honest, test out new behaviors, and notice strengths they already have. For many, the work begins by simply having someone walk alongside them while they figure things out.

How Sherry’s approaches translate to online therapy

Internal Family Systems helps people notice the different parts of themselves and how those parts influence feelings and behavior. It can be useful for working through trauma responses, strong self-criticism, and patterns that repeat over time.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. It supports building trust in the therapeutic relationship and letting clients set the pace and goals for the work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often includes short, practical exercises that can be used between sessions to manage anxiety or low mood.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to see which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps ensure therapy stays focused and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or make it simpler to attend when mobility or routine is limited. Licensed professionals use techniques from these approaches in remote sessions much the same way they do in person, adapting exercises and homework to the online setting.
