About Cheryl Spence
Cheryl approaches each person with warmth and practical skill, combining evidence-based methods with attention to the realities of daily life. She helps clients explore patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to worry, panic, difficult relationships, or feelings of isolation, and works with those coping with caregiving stress, chronic illness, postpartum concerns, and other life transitions.
In sessions Cheryl creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where emotions and experiences can be named and worked through. She encourages clients to take small, manageable steps toward their goals and collaborates with them to build tools that fit their circumstances. Cheryl acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms clients for making that first move toward change.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy
Cheryl integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based strategies into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve coping skills. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and lessen their emotional impact, often used for post-traumatic stress and complex trauma. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle self-observation, supporting emotional regulation and reducing reactivity to stressors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors methods over time so the work fits each person’s life and pace.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make ongoing support more accessible between appointments. These formats allow clients to receive consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and to continue therapeutic progress from wherever they are located in Ohio with licensed professionals.
