About Cheryl
Cheryl Fraley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 25 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.
She uses practical talk therapy to identify problems and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on clearer communication, coping skills, and behavior changes. Cheryl combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered conversations and solution-focused steps to keep work focused and concrete.
Cheryl often helps people who are facing relationship strain, grief, anger, addiction, low self-esteem, or major life changes. She also supports adults dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, or the effects of adoption and foster care. Practical concerns like blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems are common topics.
Her approach emphasizes short-term goals and measurable steps. Clients and Cheryl map out specific actions between sessions and review what worked. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are weighing change and need help finding workable next steps.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Cheryl aims to reduce unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and to increase coping skills people can use day to day. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the site options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress and then test practical alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it focuses on clear skills and short-term practice.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person in front of her, listening to concerns and reflecting what matters most. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is unsure about change; it helps clarify values and pick small, achievable steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend whether CBT, client-centered methods, or motivational techniques are the best fit. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try different pacing - for example a focused 30-minute check-in or a longer 50-60 minute session - depending on what works for daily life.
