Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cheryl integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective, fostering trust and helping clients explore feelings and values in a compassionate, accepting way. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques when clients need tools for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness; DBT offers structured skills in coping with intense emotions and improving relationships. The choice of approach is collaborative - Cheryl works with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
