Sharricci Dancy , LCSW - Therapist in California

About Sharricci

Sharricci Dancy is a licensed clinical social worker who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She focuses on clear, practical support so parents and caregivers can take small steps that make day-to-day life easier. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth, with attention to what feels useful right now.

With three years as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - she brings experience from public county healthcare case management.

Background and approach

That work exposed her to a range of adult concerns including mood issues, caregiver strain, end-of-life matters, and family conflicts. She uses that background to offer realistic strategies rather than abstract theory. Her approach blends talk-based and skills-focused methods.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, helps by changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to calm the body and refocus during stressful moments. Sharricci also draws on client-centered principles, which means sessions follow the person’s pace and priorities.

Together the therapist and client decide what to try and adjust as needed. This keeps work practical and personalized. People coming for help can expect a mixture of problem-solving and emotional support.

Conversations may cover communication, coping with life changes, money worries, or caregiving stress. The tone is supportive and straightforward, with a focus on next steps and small, manageable changes. She offers services from California and works in English.

Online session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s priorities. In practice this means sessions focus on what matters most to the person and proceed at their pace. This approach helps when a parent or caregiver needs flexible, practical support without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It breaks problems into smaller parts and teaches clear skills for managing stress, worry, mood, and daily routines. Many people find CBT helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It offers concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and better relationships, which can be useful for persistent anger or intense stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as they progress. Clients have a role in shaping what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter, on-the-go check-ins. These options make it easier to keep regular contact, practice new skills between meetings, and fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
