About Cheryl
Cheryl Marrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in the District of Columbia with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who are facing relationship stress, addiction concerns, anger, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and major life changes. Her focus includes communication problems, intimacy-related struggles, and the fallout from separation or infidelity.
Cheryl uses straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving in sessions. She listens for recurring patterns that keep people stuck - for example control issues, codependency, or family of origin wounds - and helps clients name them. She brings several clinical methods into the room, including cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, dialectical skills for emotional regulation, and emotionally-focused work for relationship repair.
Clients can expect practical strategies alongside reflection. That might look like learning new communication habits, practicing boundaries, or building relapse prevention steps for substance use. Cheryl also addresses life-purpose questions and midlife transitions, helping people sort out priorities and next steps.
Her experience includes work with blended family issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and the stresses that come from cultural and identity intersections. She draws on relationship-based models such as the Gottman Method and Imago work when couples or intimacy issues are central to the problem.
Cheryl speaks English and accepts international clients. People who want to start are asked to use the site's online matching tools to schedule an initial appointment and complete a brief intake questionnaire.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood. It helps people clarify their goals and make choices that fit their own values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try based on needs and goals. That may mean combining skills-based CBT, dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation, and relationship-focused work when needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work when life changes or travel would otherwise interrupt progress. Working online still focuses on measurable skills, clearer communication, and real-world practice that carry over into daily life.
