Sheryl Derby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Arizona with 22 years of experience in social work. She earned an undergraduate degree in psychology with a minor in family studies and holds a Master of Social Work with a child welfare emphasis from Arizona State University. She has provided clinical supervision for 17 years.
She has delivered therapy to children, adolescents, adults and families, developing focused expertise in depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. Her work has included supporting Veterans, families involved in the child welfare system, juveniles connected to the court system and homeless families.
Sheryl uses an eclectic, client-centered style that blends Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with strength-based and solution-focused approaches to identify each person’s strengths and practical coping skills. Her aim is to help individuals reach their goals and build a happier, more peaceful life.
Outside of clinical work she practices self-care by spending time with her basset hounds, practicing yoga and volunteering at a retirement home for geriatric and hospice animals. She looks forward to supporting, guiding and empowering those who seek her help.
For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or adjusting to life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and practice both indicate that remote care works well for a wide range of everyday mental health needs.
A major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect with their therapist in the format that best suits them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy lives and different schedules.
Therapists offering remote services are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch providers if they want a different fit. Online therapy can therefore be a convenient, accessible option for those seeking support without changing the standards of professional care.
