About Cheryl
Dr. Cheryl Rushing uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with twenty years of experience and aims to make conversations easy to follow and useful.
Her style is respectful and direct, with attention to each person's goals and situation. She personalizes sessions to match what each person needs. That may mean building skills to manage strong emotions or trying new ways of thinking about problems.
Background and approach
She also helps people find motivation and rebuild confidence after setbacks. Her work draws on therapies that emphasize values, present-moment awareness, and practical problem solving. Sessions often include real-life exercises to practice between meetings.
Cheryl keeps plans straightforward so people can use what they learn right away. She holds LPC credentials and has worked across settings over two decades, bringing that experience into how she structures care. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Cheryl talks through options and partners with people to set realistic steps. People who reach out can expect warm, nonjudgmental attention and clear tools for coping. The aim is to help people feel more capable of handling daily stresses and major changes.
Conversations are tailored to each person’s pace and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when worry, avoidance, or low motivation keep someone from living the way they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and change behavioral patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can support emotion regulation and resilience.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. Sessions are collaborative, and plans are adjusted based on what helps most in practice.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins and homework questions into a busy day. These options provide flexibility to continue therapy around work, family, and travel commitments while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
