About Cheryl
Cheryl Curtiss is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Connecticut with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and intimacy-related concerns. Her work also addresses parenting stress, grief, mood and eating concerns, and the strain of life transitions.
Cheryl focuses on how patterns from the family someone grew up in affect their current choices and relationships. She talks through what keeps those patterns running and how to change them. Sessions tend to be direct and practical, with attention to what causes repeated conflict and what improves daily life.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support movement from stuck ways of reacting toward more helpful choices. Cheryl works with people on specific problems such as abandonment worries, blended family issues, divorce and separation matters, infidelity, and postpartum depression. She also supports those dealing with hoarding, anger, and multicultural concerns.
People can expect conversations that name patterns, test new ways of behaving, and rebuild trust in relationships with others and with oneself. Cheryl aims to help clients identify small changes they can try between sessions. Over time these changes are used to reshape interactions that have felt automatic for years.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Evidence-based techniques often used in this practice include approaches that focus on family patterns and interactional change. One approach looks at how roles and unspoken rules from a person's upbringing shape present-day responses and relationships, helping people identify and shift those patterns. Another approach teaches practical skills for managing anxiety and mood, such as breathing and behavioral strategies, to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review current goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. If an approach does not feel useful, they adjust course together to find better suited techniques.
