Dr. Cheryl Affrunti, LCP

Dr. Cheryl Affrunti introduces herself as a compassionate, person-centered clinician who aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. She is known as Lee and brings 14 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, and relationship issues. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she focuses on listening first and helping people find what matters to them.

Lee uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational techniques to address everyday struggles. Sessions emphasize clear, usable tools such as values-based decision making, behavioral experiments, and brief skill-building. She adapts the mix of methods to what each person prefers and needs rather than following a single formula.

Her background includes work in settings that involved trauma and high-stress roles, and she has supported people facing the effects of abuse and traumatic events. That history informs a careful, steady approach when trauma-related concerns come up in sessions. She also brings practical support for parenting, work stress, sleep and eating concerns, and career decisions.

Lee holds the credential LCP and practices in Florida. Sessions are conducted in English, and she does not take international clients at this time. The intake process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

People who meet with her can expect a collaborative process that centers their goals. She helps break overwhelming problems into small steps and works with clients to try strategies that fit their life.

Approach-focused online care that fits your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what matters. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to teach concrete skills like thought records and behavior experiments that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspective; the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people discover their own solutions rather than prescribing answers.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, values, and preferences and will adjust techniques over time based on what proves helpful.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping therapy consistent during life changes. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments, try brief check-ins, or avoid travel time, and many people find virtual work lets them apply tools in real life between visits.
