About Cheryl
Cheryl Gomez is an Alabama-licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin issues.
Cheryl focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now and how the past still shows up. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Cheryl treats the client as the expert on their life and helps them notice patterns that keep getting repeated.
She will talk through coping strategies for anxiety and stress and practical steps for managing urges tied to process addictions. Cheryl also works on building confidence and improving everyday communication skills. When family history influences current problems, she helps identify those patterns and what to try instead.
Her style is collaborative. Cheryl listens for strengths and then suggests manageable changes to try between sessions. She emphasizes small, concrete actions that can change how a person feels day to day. She encourages clients to reflect on what works and to adjust plans as needed.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear skills and behavior change. One approach addresses anxiety and stress by teaching breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These methods help reduce avoidance and improve daily functioning by practicing manageable tasks.Another approach focuses on addictive behaviors and urges by identifying triggers and building alternative coping actions. This includes planning short-term strategies to interrupt urges and longer-term habit changes to reduce harmful patterns. Both approaches emphasize concrete steps rather than abstract talk.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Cheryl works with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what is working, adjusts plans, and checks progress together so the plan evolves with the client's needs.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Discuss format options when scheduling to find what fits your schedule and comfort level.
