About Cheryl
Cheryl Scopinich is an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 19 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship strain, grief, and substance use issues. Cheryl also works with people navigating parenting questions, intimacy concerns, body image, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.
Cheryl uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and Client-Centered techniques to focus on what matters most to each person.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Cheryl helps clients name the problem, try small changes, and track what works. She offers motivational interviewing and narrative therapy tools when people need to sort out choices or reframe difficult life events.
Over her career Cheryl has supported people through trauma, bereavement, adoption and foster care concerns, and major life transitions. She describes therapy as a place to practice new habits and regain a sense of balance after disruption.
Cheryl aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about. She encourages clear steps and realistic practices that fit everyday life. To begin, she asks clients to identify one or two practical goals to work on in early sessions.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cheryl commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT focuses on concrete experiments and steps you can practice between sessions, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses; ACT helps people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that matter. Client-Centered Therapy provides a straightforward framework for conversations that keep the client's concerns central and guide practical goal setting.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss what you want to achieve and try an approach that fits your goals and preferences. She treats the choice of method as collaborative and adjusts based on what helps most in early sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for focused check-ins during a break. People often find it simpler to practice skills in their everyday environment and then report back on what changed at the next session.
