How Cheryl's Approaches Work Online
Cheryl often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short-term skills that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change patterns that keep problems going.She also draws on narrative therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how past events are remembered and gives space to create new, more helpful meanings for those experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl collaborates with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging support brief contacts, ongoing coaching between sessions, and flexibility for busy days.
