About Cheryl
Dr. Cheryl Rushing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Dr. Rushing uses practical conversation and structured approaches to help clients move forward.
She combines several evidence-based methods in her sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking concrete steps toward goals. Mindfulness practices are used to slow racing thoughts and improve concentration.
Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace of conversation so the client leads what they want to focus on. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) can be introduced to examine strong emotions and how they affect choices. These methods are mixed to suit the issues a person brings to sessions.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Dr. Rushing aims to help people notice patterns, try out different responses, and build small habits that reduce stress and anger over time. She explains techniques in straightforward terms and practices them together in sessions.
People who reach out usually want clearer thinking, fewer outbursts, less built-up resentment, or better coping during life changes. The first meetings focus on what matters most now, and then practical steps are planned to address those priorities.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work is structured
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing what matters most and taking small steps toward those values. It can help with repeated anger or avoidance by shifting focus to actions that align with personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to interrupt unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to reduce reactivity and steady the mind during stress. Finding the most useful approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to current concerns, try techniques, and together decide which methods fit best. That process can change as goals evolve and as clients test what helps most in everyday situations. Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new skills between meetings in their usual settings so changes carry over into daily routines.Areas of focus
