Sessions tend to be practical and goal-minded, while still allowing space to talk through difficult feelings.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cheryl uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on the issues a person brings. That approach means sessions begin by identifying what matters now and shaping conversations around those priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to spot thought patterns and try small experiments to see if different responses change feelings and behavior. Mindfulness techniques are introduced as short practices that help with stress and grounding.Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest approaches to try. Over a few meetings the plan can shift based on what feels most helpful and practical for everyday life.
