About Cheryl
Cheryl Broome is an LCSW licensed in Texas with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem challenges, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. Her approach is practical and focused on changing unhelpful thoughts and habits to improve day-to-day functioning.
Cheryl emphasizes concrete steps clients can try between sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going. She also draws on Narrative Therapy to examine the stories people tell about themselves and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals.
Sessions involve clear goals, skill practice, and regular review of what is working. Cheryl pays attention to how past experiences and family patterns influence current behavior without making clients feel blamed. She helps people build strategies for coping with chronic pain, caregiving stress, substance issues, and life changes.
She has longstanding experience supporting clients affected by domestic violence, first responder issues, prejudice and discrimination, and post-traumatic stress. Clients can expect direct feedback, practical tools, and a focus on measurable steps toward their goals.
Cheryl asks clients to be active collaborators in therapy. She encourages people to try small changes, notice the results, and adjust plans as needed. For next steps she directs prospective clients to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cheryl combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that fit well with remote work. CBT focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes; it helps with anxiety, mood problems, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting practical, short-term goals and identifying quick steps toward them. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and can help reframe how past events shape current choices.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Cheryl will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. She encourages regular check-ins so the approach reflects what the client finds useful.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or weekday sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, since current options are set by the practice. Many people find that using online sessions helps them maintain consistency while working on concrete skills and measurable goals.
