About Cheryl
Cheryl Scott is a Florida-licensed LMHC who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, and the lingering effects of past trauma. She speaks plainly and works to give clients practical tools for daily life. Her style is direct but respectful, with a focus on clear steps rather than long tests or theory-heavy sessions.
With 25 years of experience, she uses straightforward methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Cheryl blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build coping skills and break repeating patterns. Faith can be part of the work when clients want it. As a practicing Christian, she can include biblical principles and scripture at the client’s request.
When faith is not desired, sessions center on evidence-informed approaches and concrete skill building. Cheryl pays particular attention to attachment concerns, codependency, divorce and separation, and family-related problems. She also addresses issues like shame, guilt, self-love, social anxiety, and women’s concerns with practical exercises and reflection.
Sessions are aimed at helping people notice what keeps them stuck, try new ways of thinking and acting, and track progress in everyday situations. The focus is on usable strategies clients can apply between meetings, so change feels measurable and manageable.
Approaches that fit online care
Cheryl commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques to address anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and experiments. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions.She may also use solution-focused methods to set clear, short-term goals and build on small wins. Those sessions center on what is working now and how to do more of it, which can be especially useful when clients want quick, actionable change. Cheryl will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit your needs and preferences, and she adjusts methods as goals evolve.
Online appointments are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into life. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and learning new skills, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work well for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options let people access licensed professionals from different locations and choose formats that match their routines and comfort.
