About Cheryl
Cheryl Fraley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, licensed in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, family conflict, and related concerns such as grief, depression, and codependency.
She talks plainly about what is happening and what people want to change. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps. Cheryl uses practical techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in everyday life.
Cheryl draws from Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns tied to anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to move toward different choices.
Her work covers a wide range of relationship and family issues without assuming one solution fits all. She also addresses attention differences, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver strain, and struggles with substance use patterns. Conversations include setting boundaries, managing anger, and rebuilding trust after loss or upheaval.
Cheryl prefers short, direct steps that fit into busy lives. She asks about what already works, and then helps build on those strengths. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to map out practical next steps.

Many people find that fitting sessions into their usual routine makes therapy easier to keep up with. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work or caregiving, and the option to focus on skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to help address anxiety, relationship stress, codependency patterns, and parenting concerns in ways that fit everyday life.
