About Cheryl
Cheryl Tredway is a Kansas LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical work. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, grief, and issues with intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with parenting, career worries, ADHD, and life changes.
Cheryl trained at Emporia State University in Kansas, where she earned both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Counseling. She has worked with a range of people, including university students, couples, survivors of trauma, active duty military and veterans, and people managing anger. Her clinical background includes work with addictions and disaster-related coping.
Her in-session style is straightforward and practical. She uses client-centered conversation alongside structured techniques to help people identify what’s getting in the way and try different ways of responding. She brings humor when appropriate and invites clients to do the same if that feels right.
Clinically, Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Gottman Method, and client-centered approaches. Those methods guide treatment for mood, trauma, relationship, and behavior concerns. She focuses on concrete strategies and skills people can use between sessions.
Cheryl frames work around clear goals and collaborative problem solving. She encourages clients to look at old family patterns and how those shape current choices, including family of origin issues. When someone wants to begin, she asks about goals and then outlines practical steps to get started.
How Cheryl’s approaches fit with online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and building a working relationship to clarify what a person wants to change. It helps people who need space to talk through feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses exercises and homework to test new ways of responding; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach used for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact; it is commonly applied when trauma memories are part of the presenting concerns.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Cheryl will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which approaches to try. That plan can change as clients notice what works and what doesn’t. The emphasis is on working together to match techniques to each person’s situation.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches, like CBT, translate into brief at-home exercises, while conversation-based Client-Centered work and certain EMDR protocols can be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate. Ask about specific session lengths and formats when scheduling.
