About Cheryl
Cheryl Miller Tivitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She brings 28 years of experience and a steady, practical approach to sessions. Cheryl aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.

How Cheryl works
Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop clearer, more helpful ways of coping. She adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs and pace. The goal is straightforward change that can be used between sessions.
Her background includes outpatient care, community settings, and online work. That variety shapes a flexible, practical style. Cheryl focuses on respectful, sensitive, and compassionate dialogue that centers the client’s priorities.
Many people find it easier to attend sessions remotely, and she offers several online formats to make that possible. Cheryl encourages anyone who has thought about returning to therapy or starting for the first time to take the next step when they are ready.

How CBT and online sessions can help with mood and stress
Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try out different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is practical and task-focused, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood disorders by teaching clear strategies to change reactions.She adapts CBT techniques to each person’s situation, working together to choose exercises and goals that fit daily life. Figuring out the best approach is collaborative - Cheryl asks about needs, preferences, and goals and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy allows for flexible ways to meet. Cheryl provides video calls when a fuller conversation is helpful, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or when being on camera isn’t desired, and live chat or text-based messaging for quick check-ins and shorter work between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other demands without sacrificing continuity of care.
Overall, the combination of a clear, skills-based approach and multiple session formats helps people bring therapeutic work into their daily routines and keep steady progress over time.
