Cheryl Tredway, LCPC

Cheryl Tredway is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and life changes. Cheryl emphasizes practical steps and clear goals while keeping a relaxed, human tone in sessions. She brings direct skills and a sense of humor when appropriate to make difficult topics easier to discuss.

Cheryl earned both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Counseling from Emporia State University. She has been practicing since 2012 and has about 10 years of professional experience. Over time she has worked with a wide range of people, including university students, those in the armed forces, trauma survivors, and people managing anger and addiction concerns.

Her work focuses on meeting people where they are and supporting them to reach the goals they set. Cheryl uses client-centered methods to let the person’s needs guide the sessions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation skills when those tools fit the situation.

When trauma is part of the story, Cheryl uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, aiming to reduce the hold that painful memories have on everyday life. For couples, she incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and address core relationship patterns.

Cheryl invites people to start with a short matching process and then schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and she works in English in Kansas.

How Cheryl Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. The therapist provides a supportive space and helps the person decide what to work on and when to change direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Cheryl helps clients identify thoughts that get in the way and tries small, practical changes to improve mood and coping.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss options with each person and pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let people meet at times that work around school, work, or caregiving. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better suits someone’s needs.
