About Cheryl
Cheryl Scott is a Florida-licensed Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship problems, past hurts, low self-esteem, depression, and codependency patterns.
She uses a direct but respectful style. Cheryl is straightforward and avoids sugarcoating. Sessions focus on clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so daily life and relationships work better.
Her work blends practical, evidence-informed tools with attention to personal values. She can include biblical principles and scripture when a client wants faith integrated into sessions. If faith is not wanted, she focuses on approaches such as CBT and DBT alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques.
Cheryl often helps people recognize recurring patterns tied to attachment, guilt, shame, and family strain. She also addresses social anxiety, women’s issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness work. Conversations aim to identify what keeps someone stuck and then try small, doable changes.
Sessions are aimed at clear skills and short-term goals as needed, with space for deeper themes when they come up. Cheryl’s experience includes many years helping adults navigate trauma and relationship fallout, with practical methods to support steadier moods and clearer boundaries.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they fit everyday life
Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so people can act differently in relationships and day-to-day routines. DBT teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in heated moments.Finding the right method is part of the work. Cheryl collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they bring. She will discuss what tools to try first and adjust the plan as needs change.
The original biography does not list exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. They also let someone continue work when they live far from a provider. Cheryl frames online work around practical skills and steady progress, using the approaches above to help people practice new ways of relating and responding in everyday life.
