About Cheryl
Cheryl Freimuth is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and depression, and she lists codependency among her focus areas.
Her background includes many years in education, first teaching high school anatomy and biology and later serving as an adjunct professor in a mental health program. That mix of science teaching and counseling shaped how she explains things and how she talks through sensitive topics like sexuality and intimacy.
Cheryl describes a practical, down-to-earth approach. Client-Centered Therapy is the foundation she uses, so sessions begin by listening and identifying what matters most to each person. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when those methods fit the goals that arise in sessions.
In practice Cheryl helps people address communication problems, jealousy, infidelity, divorce and separation, and midlife or life-purpose concerns. She also notes experience with aging and geriatric issues, cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and struggles around guilt, shame, and forgiveness.
Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and everyday problem solving. Cheryl emphasizes respect and self-awareness while helping clients name patterns, test new behaviors, and set realistic steps forward. She asks people to be active in the work and to notice small changes between meetings.
How sessions work
How Cheryl’s Approaches Work in Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and clarifying what matters most to the client. In practice that means the therapist asks about priorities, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, and repetitive negative thinking by testing small behavior or thinking changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals, carving out concrete actions to try between sessions.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Cheryl discusses options with each person and adapts methods to the client’s goals and preferences. She combines listening with clear tools so the plan fits what the person wants to change or understand.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a break. It can also let people continue with consistent meetings during life transitions. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and communication styles for remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
