Dr. Cheryl Mansfield, LICSW, LCSW

Dr. Cheryl Mansfield is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and addiction. She also offers support for trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric issues. She brings two decades of clinical experience to sessions and aims to make therapy practical and straightforward.

She focuses on identifying the problems that cause pain and reducing their intensity through skill-building. Sessions emphasize a strength-based perspective and practical techniques clients can use between meetings. Cheryl draws on a mix of approaches so she can tailor work to each person's needs.

Her style is warm and welcoming. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficult feelings without judgment. The work is collaborative - goals are set together and progress is tracked over time.

Dr. Mansfield has worked in outpatient clinics, hospitals, and with military populations over the course of her career. She favors brief, goal-focused strategies when appropriate, along with mindful practices and deeper exploration for trauma-related concerns.

Clients can expect straightforward tools from cognitive-behavioral methods, reflective listening from a client-centered stance, and targeted problem-solving from solution-focused work. The emphasis is on clear, usable steps that reduce distress and help people move forward.

How therapy approaches work in online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect. The therapist offers reflective listening and helps people find their own solutions, which can help with relationship strain, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related patterns because it gives clear steps people can practice between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness practices. This can reduce stress and help with emotion regulation, especially when life feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering flexibility around work and caregiving schedules. Licensed professionals adapt techniques so sessions remain practical and focused, whether clients need skill-building, problem-solving, or deeper trauma work.
