About Cheryl
Cheryl Curtiss is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, grief, or changes in mood. Cheryl also supports people facing issues like intimacy problems, career stress, eating concerns, and major life transitions.
Cheryl aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what feels hard. She focuses on listening closely and helping people name the core problems they want to solve.
How Cheryl works
Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs rather than following a rigid formula. Over three decades of practice have given her experience with family conflict, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and questions that stem from one’s family of origin. She also works with issues such as abandonment, infidelity, hoarding, postpartum depression, and multicultural concerns.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about coping skills, boundaries, and communication. Cheryl pays attention to emotions and behavior, and she helps people try small changes between sessions. The goal is to make daily life feel more manageable and relationships clearer.
Cheryl is based in Connecticut and conducts sessions in English. She offers a range of online formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and she guides each person through a collaborative process to decide what will help most.

Online support options
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage emotions and change unhelpful patterns. One approach emphasizes skills for coping with anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving strategies to reduce overwhelming reactions. Another approach concentrates on improving communication and boundaries in relationships so people can address intimacy issues, family conflict, or separation with clearer conversations and safer limits.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Cheryl will discuss your goals, try approaches that match your needs, and adjust as you go. Together you decide what feels most helpful and practical for daily life rather than sticking to a single plan.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you work face-to-face from different locations and support deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or help when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, between-session support, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit sessions into work, school, or family routines.
