About Cheryl
Cheryl (Susie) Briggs is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She guides clients through relationship strains, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles in a straightforward, supportive way. She brings 20 years of experience working with people facing depression, addictions, grief, and trauma.
Cheryl adapts conversations and plans to suit each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. Cheryl helps people build strategies for coping with life changes, managing anger, and addressing compulsive behaviors. She also supports work on intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, bipolar mood management, and self-love practices.
Cheryl offers coaching-style guidance when clients want help with motivation or making concrete changes. She can help with compassion fatigue and challenges tied to ADHD, and she addresses infidelity and obsessive tendencies with care. The aim is to give doable tools clients can use between meetings.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Cheryl draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and related concerns. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills and problem-solving steps to reduce worry and stress. This helps with day-to-day anxiety, motivation, and handling life changes. Another approach centers on addressing compulsive patterns and intrusive thoughts through structured strategies that reduce the power of those behaviors and improve daily functioning. These methods are useful for obsessions, compulsions, and related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Cheryl works collaboratively to learn about a person's goals and preferences, then adjusts methods as needed. Together the client and therapist experiment with tools and decide what fits best for symptoms, lifestyle, and pace.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits that Cheryl uses in her practice. Video calls let you see facial cues and work in real time, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
