About Gretchen
Gretchen Sherrill, LMHC, LPC, is a licensed counselor in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. She describes her work as collaborative and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping skills and greater self-understanding.
Sherrill emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional processing. She helps people address social anxiety, isolation, and struggles with guilt and shame. She also supports people who are dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and age-related worries.
Her sessions include focused conversations about communication problems, control and commitment issues, and patterns that interfere with relationships. She works with people facing major life changes, cancer-related stress, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters. The aim is to identify patterns and develop manageable strategies for daily life.
She presents therapy as a collaborative effort. Clients and she work together to set goals and try practices that fit each person’s routine. Gretchen uses evidence-based techniques to teach specific coping tools and to track progress over time.

Evidence-based approaches and remote care
Gretchen describes her practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Two common approaches used in such work are cognitive-behavioral methods, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression, and skills-based interventions that teach concrete strategies for managing stress, improving communication, and coping with grief.The right approach is determined collaboratively. She will help clients clarify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works and what feels manageable. Clients take an active role in choosing strategies that fit their daily life and priorities.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so people can maintain therapy alongside other obligations.
