Cheryl Scott, LMHC

Cheryl Scott is a Florida-licensed LMHC with 25 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship problems. She often sees people dealing with the fallout from past hurts, low self-esteem, or family conflict. Cheryl takes a direct but respectful approach and aims to give clear, usable tools rather than vague advice.

Her work focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. She combines practical strategies with thoughtful self-reflection to help clients make steady progress. If faith matters to a client, she can incorporate biblical principles and scripture into sessions; if not, she uses straightforward therapeutic methods.

Cheryl uses several approaches to meet different needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps that target immediate problems. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and hypnotherapy when those methods suit a person’s goals. Sessions center on small, measurable changes that add up over time.

People come to her for help with attachment issues, codependency, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and challenges like social anxiety. Cheryl aims to create a working plan with each person so progress is clear and practical tools are available between sessions.

Her practice is based in Florida, and she works with clients in English. She accepts international clients as well. To get started, prospective clients follow the platform’s matching steps and schedule according to availability.

How Cheryl’s approaches work in online therapy

Cheryl uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve relationships.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention exercises and emotional regulation. These techniques help people respond differently to stress and to notice patterns without getting swept up in them.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. Over a few sessions she adapts strategies based on what is helping and what needs adjusting.

Session formats were not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they focus on talking skills, behavior experiments, and guided exercises that can be practiced between meetings.
