About Cheryl
Cheryl Tredway is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas with ten years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, relationship concerns, and parenting struggles. She also works with grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, career questions, ADHD, and life transitions.
Cheryl uses a practical, goal-focused style in sessions. She pays attention to thoughts, habits, and patterns that keep problems going. She uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to try different ways of responding to difficult feelings and situations.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Counseling from Emporia State University in Kansas. Over the years she has worked with a range of people, including university students, couples, trauma survivors, active duty military, veterans, and people managing anger.
Cheryl includes elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, the Gottman Method, and client-centered work when they fit a person’s goals. She also brings experience addressing addictions and caregiver stress. Sessions focus on clear steps, skills practice, and checking what does and doesn’t help.
She encourages a bit of humor when it fits and invites clients to bring their own. To begin, she asks people to identify priorities and then work on strategies that address root causes and move toward specific goals.
How Cheryl applies structured approaches in online work
Cheryl often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety or depression.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance. DBT skills teach paced breathing, grounding, and practical problem-solving for high-stress moments. When trauma is central, she may integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address disturbing memories and reduce their emotional charge.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Cheryl reviews a person’s goals and symptoms and suggests which methods to try first. She checks progress and changes the plan if something isn’t working, so the work stays focused on what the client needs.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. The practical advantages often include fitting appointments into a busy week, having a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, or choosing formats that use less bandwidth. Discuss formats and scheduling during the initial matching questionnaire and the first appointment to find what best fits daily life.
