How Cheryl works
Cheryl uses practical, goal-focused work to help people move past immediate problems. She encourages humor where it fits and invites clients to bring their personalities into sessions. Cheryl combines client-centered listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR when appropriate.
She also uses Gottman Method ideas for relationship work. Sessions focus on clear strategies, skill-building, and short-term steps toward the client’s goals. People come to her to reduce panic and worry, handle anger and relationship conflict, cope with loss, or address substance use and compulsive behaviors.
She pays particular attention to caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues. Her approach is collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change. Therapy with Cheryl may include talk work, behavioral exercises, mindfulness practice, and structured skill training.
She supports clients through life transitions, divorce and separation, experiences of domestic violence, and military-related concerns. The emphasis is on practical progress and usable tools.

How Cheryl Uses Therapies Online
Cheryl often brings client-centered listening to online sessions, which means she starts by understanding each person's concerns and goals and shapes sessions around what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds skill training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will discuss different methods and tailor the plan to the client's needs, goals, and comfort level. She works together with clients to try techniques, review results, and adjust the focus as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varying schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quicker check-in. Live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins, homework discussion, or extra support between longer sessions.
