Cheryl Loomis

Cheryl Loomis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of clinical experience in the United States. She is licensed in Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, career uncertainty, coping with life changes, and attention or focus concerns such as ADHD.

Cheryl works with people who want clearer communication and more trust in their close relationships. She also supports those facing career transitions and the emotional effects of major life events. Her background includes helping with attachment concerns, abandonment, guilt and shame, and challenges that come with aging or caregiving.

In sessions she adapts discussion and planning to each person’s situation. Cheryl listens for practical steps a person can try between meetings. She focuses on everyday skills for communication, managing impulsivity, and handling overwhelming feelings.

Her experience covers a wide set of life stressors - chronic illness and pain, immigration-related stress, hoarding, and problems rooted in family of origin. She also works with people coping with divorce or separation and those repairing trust after breaches in relationships.

Cheryl combines her years of practice with a straightforward, problem-solving approach. She helps people sort options, rehearse new ways to speak with others, and plan manageable changes. To begin, she asks about current concerns and what someone hopes to accomplish in therapy.

How Cheryl’s Approaches Work Remotely

Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches communication strategies and emotion regulation. This helps when conversations feel stuck or when anxiety makes it hard to respond calmly. Another common focus is problem-solving and behavioral strategies to manage attention and impulsivity, useful for people with ADHD or concentration struggles.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Cheryl will review a person’s goals, current challenges, and preferences and then suggest options. The decision about methods happens together, and adjustments are made as progress is noted.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can help plan how sessions will fit into everyday life and what a realistic pace of work looks like.
