Background and approach
Therapy sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to what feels doable for each person. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods to match a person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take action that aligns with their values.
Narrative and client-centered techniques help people tell their story and feel heard. Cheryl also draws on motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. She helps people break big problems into small steps and track progress.
That practical focus supports recovery from addiction, mood challenges, and conflict in close relationships. People working through issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, abandonment, or blended family concerns find she responds with steady curiosity. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase tools for coping.
The overall goal is clearer thinking and more manageable days.
Approaches that guide online work and practical care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making changes that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. It often helps with anxiety, mood shifts, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist listens to your goals and trial different methods to see what fits. That collaborative process means techniques are adjusted to your pace, needs, and preferences rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect across video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and body language cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between longer sessions. This mix of formats helps people balance therapy with work, caregiving, and other commitments.
