How Cheryl’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people feel understood while they work toward change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills that help with intense feelings and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
