Cheryl has experience supporting people through divorce or separation and with the complex feelings that follow serious illness.

Using CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Cheryl commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT emphasizes concrete exercises and homework that translate well to conversations over video or messaging. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach and focuses on listening closely, showing respect, and letting the client's priorities guide each session. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be added to teach emotional regulation and distress-tolerance techniques when emotions run high.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Cheryl will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose which approaches to try. The plan can shift over time based on what is working and what is needed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and skill demonstrations, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work well for brief check-ins or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to schedule regular work on goals from different places and at different times.
