About Sheryl
Sheryl Anderson is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in New Mexico. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. Her work is direct and practical, aimed at small steps people can use day to day.
Sheryl draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to shape personalized plans. She listens first to understand what matters most to each person and then helps build skills to manage symptoms and make values-based choices.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than lecture-style. With 11 years of experience, she has worked with people facing complicated challenges like caregiver strain, chronic health concerns, and recovery from domestic violence. That history informs how she supports coping, safety planning, and steady progress over time.
She emphasizes pacing work to match each person’s readiness. Sheryl helps people reduce overwhelm and increase flexibility in responding to difficult thoughts and emotions. She coaches concrete strategies for day-to-day life such as thought tracking, behavioral experiments, and simple mindfulness practices.
The aim is practical change that fits each person’s routine. People connect with her when they want clear tools, steady support, and collaborative problem solving. She frames therapy as a partnership focused on results that matter to the client.
Sessions are conducted in English and are scheduled to fit a variety of needs.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward those values while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve mood. It is practical and often includes short exercises to try between sessions, which translate well to remote work. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stressors, helping with anxiety and chronic worry.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, try different strategies, and adjust the plan together. That means early sessions often focus on learning what helps most and shaping the approach from there.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you use visual cues and screen-share worksheets. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, quick coping prompts, and ongoing tracking between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping consistent progress.
