About Cheril
Cheril Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, trauma, and depression. Her style is direct and warm, aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can name what feels wrong. Conversations focus on practical steps for daily life, like managing panic, improving sleep routines, and coping with big changes.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that feels comfortable for each person. Over nearly two decades of work, she has helped people address attachment wounds, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. That experience informs how she listens and responds in sessions.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. Cheril encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time. She checks in about what’s working and shifts strategies when needed.
Progress is treated as a collaboration rather than a fixed promise. She offers help in English and accepts international clients. The first step is simply opening up about one concern, then building from there.
Practical, steady support is central to how she approaches therapy.
Practical approaches for online therapy and coping
Two evidence-based approaches guide much of the work: methods that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and methods that focus on calming the body and building safety after trauma. Cognitive-focused techniques help identify negative thinking patterns and replace them with more useful ways to think, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Body-centered and trauma-informed techniques teach grounding, breathing, and pacing skills to reduce intense reactions and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try strategies, and adjust based on what helps. Treatment choices are revised over time so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper discussion is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing prompts, brief updates, or moments when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
