Cheryl Williams, LMFT

Cheryl Williams is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with more than 12 years of experience in the mental health field. She holds a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology - a graduate credential that prepared her to assess and support emotional and relational concerns - and she also has training as a certified biblical counselor, which she integrates when clients request faith-informed care.

Cheryl helps adults and couples work through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. She also addresses blended family challenges, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, family of origin concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, panic attacks, self-love, social anxiety, and a range of women's issues. Her approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and practical skill-building so people can improve relationships and day-to-day functioning.

Rather than relying on a single method, Cheryl draws on evidence-based approaches tailored to each person - including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, existential perspectives, and mindfulness practices - and can combine these with faith-based resources when it fits a client’s values. She focuses on helping clients identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen communication and boundaries, and develop tools to move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Cheryl offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult feelings and life transitions. Her sessions aim to help people uncover strengths, address unwanted patterns, and create practical steps toward improved well-being.
