How Cheryl works
When faith is important to a client, she can draw on biblical principles and scripture to support the work. If faith is not part of a client's preference, she uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods instead. The focus is always on what the individual needs and wants to change.
Cheryl blends cognitive and behavioral strategies with mindfulness and skills training. She also uses hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques to help people shift responses and make steady progress. Sessions emphasize real-world tools that affect daily routines and relationships.
People meet her for clear guidance on next steps and practical exercises to try between sessions. She aims to help clients replace stuck patterns with workable habits that improve mood, reduce anxiety, and strengthen important connections.

Practical approaches for online sessions
Cheryl commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to help people manage stress, improve focus, and respond differently to strong emotions.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are needed. DBT skills training offers step-by-step techniques for managing intense feelings and improving communication under stress. Cheryl approaches choice of method collaboratively, listening to each person's goals and preferences and adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video mirrors an in-person visit for visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat supports brief check-ins or ongoing skills practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep steady momentum between sessions.
