About Cheryl
Dr. Cheryl Rushing offers a calm, practical approach to common struggles like stress and anxiety. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience.
Her manner is respectful and straightforward, aimed at helping people take manageable steps toward feeling better. She helps people who are dealing with anger, low self-esteem, depression, motivation problems, and life transitions. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped to fit each person’s needs and pace. Her work draws on methods that teach new ways of thinking and acting, including mindfulness and cognitive techniques. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to keep the relationship supportive and personal.
The goal is steady progress, not sudden fixes. Dr. Rushing listens for what matters most to each person and then builds a plan together.
That plan may include short exercises between sessions to practice skills. She frames change as a series of small choices that add up over time. People who reach out can expect a practical, compassionate partner through stressful times.
Her Texas licensure and long experience guide her approach, while the focus stays on real-world solutions and gradual improvement.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions toward those values. It can be useful when anxiety or stress makes it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and replaces them with more effective responses. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and managing anger.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adapt based on what helps you most. That way the plan grows out of your needs and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper connection is helpful. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing skills practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on meaningful change.
