About Cheryl
Dr. Cheryl Rushing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas and Georgia with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She conducts sessions in English and practices in Texas.
Dr. Rushing uses practical, talk-based methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on thoughts, behaviors, and values. She also uses Client-Centered techniques and mindfulness tools to keep conversations focused on what matters most to the client.
Sessions are structured around clear goals and measurable steps. Dr. Rushing helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and tries different strategies to see what works. She pays attention to both thinking patterns and emotional responses.
Over two decades of practice have included work with motivation, confidence, and anger management. That experience informs how she sets realistic short-term tasks and longer-term plans. Her approach emphasizes practical exercises clients can try between sessions.
Dr. Rushing asks clients to describe current struggles, priorities, and what they want to change. From there she collaborates on a plan that matches the client's goals and day-to-day routines. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How these approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Rushing commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practicing new responses. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that move toward those values even when difficult feelings are present.She also uses Client-Centered techniques that keep the conversation focused on the client's priorities and experience. During early sessions she will review goals, try a few methods, and ask for feedback so the treatment fits what the client wants. Figuring out the right mix of approaches is part of the work and will be done together.

Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular weekly appointments. They also allow work on practical skills that can be practiced between meetings, such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and brief mindfulness exercises.
