Emotionally-Focused and Gottman-informed methods guide her work around relationships and attachment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Sessions aim to build skills, clarify values, and repair patterns that cause repeated problems. Cheryl emphasizes respect for each person’s cultural and personal background.

To start, she asks questions about current concerns, goals, and what a useful next step would look like for the client.

How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online work

Cheryl uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. That means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is applied to notice patterns of thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, addictive urges, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and coping when feelings become overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as progress is made so the approach fits the situation and the client’s pace.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or avoid travel for people with limited mobility. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication styles to work well across distance while helping clients practice new skills between sessions.
