Background and approach
Her work blends talking with skill practice. Cheryl draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions.
For trauma and painful memories, Cheryl includes EMDR methods when they fit the person’s needs. For relationship concerns she applies elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and rebuild connection. These tools are chosen to match what each person hopes to change.
Cheryl has experience with university students, people who have served in the military, survivors of trauma, and those facing anger or addiction issues. She approaches each case without judgment and focuses on practical steps toward change. If life feels overwhelming, she helps people find concrete ways to move forward.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let clients set the pace and topics while the therapist reflects and helps clarify priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions Cheryl can teach practical CBT skills like thought records and behavior experiments that people can use between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT skills work well over video or text because they can be practiced in short real-life moments and then reviewed with the therapist.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts tools to the format the client prefers and changes course if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent progress.
