About Sharricci

Sharricci Dancy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with three years of formal experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She also supports people facing relationship struggles, grief, career uncertainty, and mood concerns.

Sharricci uses straightforward conversation to help people understand what triggers their anger and other strong emotions. Sessions often include practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and tools drawn from dialectical behavior therapy to manage reactions in the moment. She also leans on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person sitting across from her.

Her background includes county healthcare case management work, where she supported adults and caregivers through complex needs. That field experience informs her approach to issues such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and hospice or end-of-life counseling.

She incorporates mindfulness practices and Jungian ideas when they fit a client's style. That can mean learning simple grounding exercises, naming patterns that reoccur in relationships, or reflecting on values and meaning during life changes.

Sharricci also addresses practical life problems like money stress, hoarding tendencies, infidelity, and commitment worries. She mixes discussion, problem-solving, and skill practice so sessions feel useful and focused on real-life change.

To start, she asks people to describe the patterns they want to change. From there she helps pick techniques that match the person’s goals and day-to-day reality.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Sharricci blends client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work means the conversation focuses on the person’s priorities and concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety cycling and teaches concrete strategies to change them. Dialectical behavior therapy contributes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in high-stress moments.

Deciding which methods to use is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what feels workable. Together they try strategies and adjust the mix based on what helps in real life, whether that means practicing a skill during a session or setting small behavioral experiments between meetings.

Confirm current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. People often find it simpler to bring up workplace triggers, practice moment-to-moment regulation, or keep continuity of care when life is chaotic.
