She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, career concerns, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, and anger.

She uses short-term problem-focused work when appropriate and also supports deeper exploration of patterns when clients want that.

People often come for help calming heightened reactions, repairing communication patterns, or reducing work-related irritability that spills into home life. Cheryl aims to help clients recognize patterns, test small changes, and build habits that reduce stress and reactivity over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them and then commit to small actions that match what matters. ACT can be useful for anger that comes from avoidance, rumination, or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior. CBT is often used for anger tied to automatic thoughts, stress, or workplace reactivity. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so clients can reflect and choose changes at their own pace. Choosing an approach is part of the work. Cheryl will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps match tools to what the person needs right now. Confirm the therapist's current session options before scheduling, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support steady practice of skills between appointments, making it simpler to try new responses in real life and bring back observations to discuss in session.Areas of focus
