Therapy approaches you can use online
Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and for changing patterns that keep problems going.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters and taking committed action even when feelings are hard. ACT can help with parenting stress, relationship worry, and coping with life transitions.
Finding which approach fits is part of the work. Cheryl treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on your goals and preferences.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or visual focus is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, quick coaching, and flexible support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting, caregiving, and travel while working with licensed professionals.
