About Cheryl
Cheryl Osler is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Washington with 10 years in private practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and career concerns, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, depression, ADHD and related issues. Cheryl also lists work with trauma and abuse, parenting and intimacy-related struggles. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients; confirm session formats before booking.
Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered methods, existential approaches and Jungian ideas. She focuses on concrete skills people can use between appointments. That includes noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing different responses, and building small behavior changes that add up over time.
Her background includes clinical and academic training in nursing and clinical psychology, and she has worked in mental health roles for many years. Cheryl describes CBT as a short-term, problem-focused method that helps people identify thought patterns that influence behavior and mood. She pairs that with ACT and client-centered work to address values, motivation and the therapeutic relationship.
In sessions she aims to teach practical tools such as thought record techniques, behavioral experiments, problem-solving steps, and mindfulness practices. She also supports people facing life transitions, caregiver stress, and issues tied to aging and chronic illness. The approach is structured and skills-focused, with room to talk through how problems started and what keeps them going.
People who choose Cheryl can expect clear, step-by-step work on patterns that cause distress. She asks about goals and helps set concrete tasks between sessions. To confirm current session options and scheduling, use the platform matching process before booking.
How Cheryl uses CBT and ACT online
Cheryl works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and stepwise problem solving to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep disruption.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters, which can be useful for grief, chronic stress, and motivation problems. Client-centered methods are used to support the therapeutic relationship and make sure goals reflect the client's priorities.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Cheryl will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals and how a person responds in early sessions. That collaborative process helps shape tasks, homework, and the pacing of treatment.
