Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Cheryl uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work - this approach focuses on empathy, respect, and tailoring the conversation to what matters most to the individual and can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and coping with life transitions.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT often includes practical strategies and skill-building useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and problems with impulsivity.
Motivational Interviewing is another approach Cheryl employs when change feels difficult or ambivalent - it uses collaborative conversation to strengthen motivation and clarify personal reasons for change, which can be particularly helpful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, or readiness-related challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl works with each client to explore which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy provides flexibility by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home or another convenient location while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
