More about Cheryl

  • 27 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCPC

I have worked as a therapist for about 30 years==with a private company, with a Job Corps, and with a mental health center in my community My approach with any client is eclectic and responsive to a client's needs. I have dealt with a range of clients (from teenagers and young adults at the Job Corps), to adults dealing with childhood trauma, relationship issues, abuse, addiction issues, mental health disorders, lifestyle concerns--and have been blessed by some clients telling me I have saved their lives!

Acceptance of one's life situation, and understanding the need to change or make different choices and the courage to do so are what I can assist with. Look forward to assisting those who are seeking help.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I look forward to talking to Cheryl each week. She makes me feel heard. Her personal experiences provide her a great resource and background for advice and suggestions for tools to help me. She has done a fantastic job for me and I would recommend her to anyone needing a sounding board.

Before I started therapy with Cheryl I was struggling a lot with my emotions and my relationship. Now, I'm at a much better place mentally and my relationship is getting more stable each day. Talking with her helped me because she listens well, gives good advice when it is appropriate, and asks, never judging or assuming. I felt that all my troubles and emotions were validated. She is very comforting and professional in how she responds and I feel safe telling her anything. She is amazing at her job and genuinely seems like she cares. I will miss her very much.
