About Sherilyn
Sherilyn Cho uses a client-centered approach to help people sort out overwhelming moments. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii with six years of experience. Sherilyn focuses on practical skills that ease stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting strains.
She speaks plain language and aims to make therapy feel doable for busy parents. Sherilyn draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts that keep problems going. She pairs that with mindfulness practice to help people calm racing thinking and notice what matters most.
How Sherilyn works
Motivational interviewing supports clients who want to change habits around alcohol, drugs, or other impulsive behaviors. In sessions she works collaboratively, helping each person name strengths and set concrete steps. Work often includes short skill-building exercises, role-play to improve communication, and goal-setting for daily life.
The focus can shift between coping with grief, managing anger, or addressing obsessive or compulsive behaviors. Sherilyn also supports people navigating identity and sexuality, LGBT concerns, and multicultural stressors. She offers help with career questions, compassion fatigue, and challenges common to young adults.
Autism and Asperger Syndrome related concerns are part of her additional focus. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are subscription-based and can be canceled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Sherilyn's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them build on their strengths to solve real-life problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and stress-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherilyn will talk with the client about what they want to change and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Decisions about techniques happen together so goals remain practical and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coping reminders, and ongoing encouragement between longer talks.
