About Cheryl
Her approach emphasizes practical conversation and concrete steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns, reframe difficult stories, and try small experiments that can change day-to-day life. Sessions tend to involve talking through recent events, identifying what’s getting in the way, and testing new ways of responding.
Cheryl draws on two decades of varied work in Texas to support people with caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and the fallout from disasters or discrimination. She also works with people affected by domestic violence, substance use, codependency, and first responder stress. These areas often overlap, and she attends to the mix of challenges someone brings.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps clients set short-term, achievable goals and checks on progress each session. When appropriate, she uses narrative techniques to rewrite problem-focused stories and solution-focused moves to build momentum quickly.
To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s intake steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen stress or anxiety. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and short between-session tasks to test new responses. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and rewrite how they describe difficult events or identities. That approach can be useful for grief, trauma, and issues tied to self-esteem. Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, achievable steps and quick feedback, which can help when someone wants direction without extended planning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on current needs, goals, and what feels most useful. She checks in regularly and adapts plans if something isn’t helping.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into a workday break, avoid travel time, or use shorter phone check-ins when that better suits their schedule. Talk with Cheryl during the intake process about how you need sessions to fit into everyday life and she will outline the format options available.
