She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns like low self-esteem and trouble sleeping.

Her background includes work in outpatient offices and community settings, as well as experience on online platforms. That means she has seen problems in many everyday contexts and can apply concrete strategies learned across those settings. She guides people through skills work and brief experiments to see what helps.
Cheryl aims to match the pace and focus to each person's goals. She helps prioritize practical steps for immediate coping, then builds toward longer-term changes.

How CBT and structured methods work in online sessions
Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in clear, practical ways. CBT helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and low mood going, then tests small changes to see what works. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes.She also applies skills-based problem solving that focuses on one issue at a time. That can mean breaking a big stressor into steps, practicing a new skill between meetings, and reviewing what helped. These methods are concrete and action-oriented, aimed at producing observable changes in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences and adjust the plan over time. Sessions include reviewing progress, trying new techniques, and deciding what to practice next.
