About Cheryl

Cheryl Salas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, eating concerns, anger, career challenges, and depression. Sessions also address intimacy-related issues, family and communication problems, and struggles with purpose or isolation.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and combines several approaches in session. That can include cognitive-behavioral methods and work that looks at family of origin patterns. Cheryl uses conversational, interactive sessions that focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than clinical labels.

Cheryl has experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has provided premarital counseling, communication training, and support for women with eating concerns. Her background includes working with individuals, couples, families, and groups across a range of life transitions and losses.

In sessions she works at a pace that balances challenge with support. Conversations often focus on concrete skills for handling anger, improving boundaries, reducing workplace stress, and repairing relationship communication. She emphasizes straightforward strategies people can try between sessions.

People who want direct, practical help with temper, recurrent resentment, or frequent snapping may find the focus useful. Before booking, confirm current session options so the chosen format fits everyday life and scheduling needs.

How sessions work

Approaches you may use and online session basics

Cheryl commonly uses cognitive-behavioral approaches, which focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new responses. CBT techniques can help with anger outbursts, workplace frustration, and repetitive negative thinking by teaching skills to notice and change reactions.

She also draws on family of origin work, which looks at how early family patterns shape current reactions and relationship habits. This style helps when anger or communication problems trace back to learned roles or long-standing family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to try first based on goals and preferences. That means trying practical tools, checking how they feel in real life, and adjusting the plan together.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, shorten travel time, and allow regular check-ins between busy days. Therapists often adapt exercises so they work over video or phone and suggest simple at-home practices to try between appointments.
