About Cheryl
Cheryl Crosley-Culberson is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people move past addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Cheryl aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive rather than overwhelming.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about painful memories and hard feelings. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and practical. Cheryl listens closely and helps people name what matters to them and what gets in the way.
Background and approach
Her work often centers on improving relationships and intimacy, and on building stronger self-worth. She also addresses issues such as attachment wounds, abandonment, body image, and caregiver stress. People who struggle with panic, mood shifts, impulsivity, or social anxiety may find clear strategies to try in session.
Cheryl blends several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. That can include acceptance-based work, cognitive reframing, emotion-focused insight, and skills for managing intense feelings. The goal is to give tools people can use between sessions as well as understanding during them.
She offers therapy in English for adults living in Texas. Cheryl encourages a collaborative process that centers the client’s goals and values. If someone wants steady support for recovery, healing after hurt, or clearer direction in life, she helps chart the path forward.
Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-guided action, so people learn small steps that align with what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on understanding strong emotions and how they shape close connections, which can help with intimacy and relationship pain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
