About Cheryl
Cheryl Scott helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship pain, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. She is attentive to issues like low self-esteem, depression, and family tensions. Cheryl is a Florida-licensed LMHC with 25 years of experience and a practical style that aims for steady progress.
Cheryl uses plain talk and clear steps in sessions. She is direct but respectful, pointing out patterns that hold people back while offering concrete tools to change thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple skills to manage strong emotions and steps to improve everyday functioning. Faith can be part of the work when clients want it. As a practicing Christian, Cheryl can incorporate biblical principles and scripture into therapy.
If faith is not part of a client’s life, she focuses on evidence-informed methods instead. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. That mix lets her match strategies to the problem at hand, such as calming anxiety, improving relationship habits, or working through guilt and shame.
Cheryl tends to work toward specific, measurable changes rather than long, open-ended talk. She helps people set small goals, practice new skills between sessions, and notice real differences in daily life. This hands-on orientation supports moving past stuck patterns and toward healthier routines and relationships.
How Cheryl’s Approaches Work Online
Cheryl often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship conflicts.She may also use mindfulness techniques to help clients slow down and notice thoughts and feelings without reacting. Mindfulness can help with ongoing worry, stress, and social anxiety by building simple daily habits for calmer responses.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods for a few sessions and adjust the plan based on how things are going.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging is helpful for ongoing notes and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
