Background and approach
Cheryl pays attention to how a person's background and life story shape their choices and feelings. Cheryl blends approaches to match a person's needs rather than using one fixed method. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions collaborative and from the Gottman Method to address interaction patterns that cause repeated conflict.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Clients can expect straightforward skills, coaching on communication, and steps for coping with stress or cravings.
Cheryl aims to make the work feel doable rather than overwhelming. She holds licenses as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor and an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the District of Columbia. Cheryl offers talk therapy that respects each person's identity and life path, guiding them toward clearer choices and more reliable emotional balance.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Cheryl uses the Gottman Method to look at how people interact during conflict and to teach skills that reduce repeated arguments and rebuild connection. That work focuses on patterns in conversation and offers exercises to change how partners talk and listen. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the sessions collaborative and focused on the person's own goals and perspectives; this approach helps people feel heard and directs the pace of change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss your goals, preferences, and the kinds of changes you want to see, then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and guided exercises, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in, and chat or messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, travel schedules, or busy family lives while keeping the focus on steady progress.
