About Cheryl
Cheryl Ubelhor Kotyuk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 40 years of experience in social services and four decades working with people facing life stressors. She focuses on problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Cheryl also works with issues related to trauma and abuse, intimacy, sleep problems, anger, career questions, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is rooted in client-centered therapy. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping the person notice what matters most to them. Cheryl aims to help people clarify goals and try small, practical steps that fit daily life.
Cheryl’s background includes a Bachelor of Arts from Purdue University and a Master of Social Work from Indiana University. She has practiced as an LCSW for many years in Indiana settings that ranged from direct social services to clinical care. That experience informs a straightforward, problem-focused way of working.
In sessions she pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships, including codependency, communication and commitment issues, family of origin concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also supports people dealing with divorce, domestic violence aftermath, and forgiveness or guilt and shame.
People who come to her can expect simple, clear talk about next steps. To begin, she asks about what you want to change, what has already been tried, and what would feel manageable to try next.
How sessions work
How her client-centered work translates to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what she hears, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach often helps with anxiety, relationship patterns, grief, and questions about self-worth because it centers the person’s feelings and priorities.In practice, Cheryl will work collaboratively to figure out which ways of working fit best. That means talking about goals, trying approaches that feel manageable, and adjusting as needed. Deciding on an approach is part of the work, not a one-time decision, and she aims to match methods to your needs and preferences.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm which formats are available before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is helpful, or sessions that focus on talk-based problem solving when that suits your goals.
