About Cheryl
Cheryl (Susie) Briggs is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. She approaches work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her manner is direct but warm, aimed at helping parents find practical ways forward.
With 20 years of experience, Susie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs. She focuses on immediate concerns like motivation, coping with life changes, grief, and compassion fatigue while also addressing longer-term issues such as addictions, bipolar disorder, and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and doable steps. Susie works with clients to build problem-solving skills, strengthen self-love, and reduce intense reactions like anger or obsessive thoughts. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, infidelity, eating concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.
Her practice style is collaborative. She listens, asks focused questions, and suggests tools that fit daily life. Parents can expect practical ideas for handling common stressors and improving communication patterns without an overload of jargon.
Susie practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English. She will not be working with international clients. Getting started involves a short intake and matching process that leads to scheduling sessions that fit each person’s life.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help parents and individuals get clearer about goals and next steps. One common approach she employs focuses on practical problem solving - identifying specific stressors, trying small behavior changes, and tracking what helps. This method suits parents juggling routines, motivation, and everyday anxiety. Another frequent emphasis is building self-compassion and self-love through structured conversations and reflective exercises. That work helps with self-esteem, shame, and recovering after relationship breaches like infidelity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and tools as progress unfolds so the plan stays useful and realistic for busy lives.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations for skill practice and role play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief exchanges, homework, and ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit counseling into work, childcare, and other daily demands.
