About Cheryl
Cheryl brings a practical style to sessions. She listens closely and works with clients to set realistic goals. Therapy focuses on skills people can use between meetings, such as changing unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors.
Her background includes several degrees across nursing, clinical psychology, and educational leadership, and she holds the LMHC credential. She has worked in mental health settings for many years and has spent a decade in private practice using cognitive behavioral approaches.
In sessions Cheryl often combines approaches to match what a person needs.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on practical change.
Cheryl also has experience responding to disasters as a volunteer mental health counselor. This work informs her calm, steady approach when people face sudden change or loss. She encourages a paced process so people can try new skills and notice small improvements over time.

How Cheryl's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify what matters most to them. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding motivation to take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which helps with depression, anxiety, sleep and eating issues, and addictions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process can mean adjusting techniques over time until something feels helpful.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, removes travel time, and lets them meet from familiar surroundings. Others prefer a shorter check-in by phone or a full video conversation for deeper work. A therapist and client can decide together which option best fits schedules, energy levels, and the kind of work they want to do.
