About Cheryl
Cheryl believes the client is the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths, then helps people use those strengths to face problems. Conversations are aimed at small, doable changes that add up over time.
Her work often centers on everyday stresses and big losses alike. Cheryl supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, or disability and the strain of caregiving. She also helps when past hurt, domestic violence, or substance use makes daily life harder.
Cheryl uses approaches that help people find patterns in thinking and storytelling. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and set reachable goals. That mix is used to address mood, motivation, and post-traumatic reactions.
People who choose Cheryl can expect a calm, direct style and practical tools to try between appointments. She encourages collaboration so goals match what matters in each person’s life. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online therapy
Cheryl works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative and Solution-Focused approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking that change mood and behavior. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell their stories so they can see new meanings and options. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on the next practical steps someone can take and on small goals that produce visible progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is helpful and what is not.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel needs, which can make sessions fit into busy days. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed, or for conversations that don't require being on camera. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available.
