Cheryl Hann is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and holds a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC, practicing in North Carolina. She draws on ten years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, and depression. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can take the first steps toward change.

Cheryl works with a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and body image. She also supports people coping with caregiver strain, cancer-related stress, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and some aspects of alternative sexual culture such as BDSM and kink.

Her approach centers on listening and tailoring treatment to each person. Cheryl uses client-centered conversations to help clients set goals and think through options. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion regulation when those tools fit the need.

Cheryl also incorporates motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change and narrative therapy to help people reframe their personal stories. She notes experience working with military populations and veterans and has academic training in Hispanic and Chicano cultural studies. She tested for Spanish language proficiency at the university level.

Cheryl invites people who are ready to consider change to begin with a short matching process and a conversation about practical next steps. She aims to support and empower clients as they work toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist creates a supportive dialogue and helps clients set their own goals, which can suit issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who struggle with mood swings, impulsivity, or repeated conflict in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That decision can change as progress is made and new needs appear.

Session logistics vary by practice, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a way to continue work with a licensed professional despite geographic distance. Ask about specific session lengths, timing, and whether video or phone sessions are offered when you start the matching process.
