About Cheryl
Cheryl Scott is a Florida-licensed LMHC who helps people feeling stuck by anxiety, stress, low mood, and relationship pain. She commonly works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, codependency, self-esteem struggles, and family-related problems. Cheryl writes plainly and offers direct guidance so people know what to expect in sessions.
Cheryl brings 25 years of clinical experience to each meeting. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She does not sugarcoat things, but she also avoids tearing people down. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep repeating and learning small, doable steps to change them.
She combines practical strategies with careful reflection. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression, practicing emotion regulation skills, or addressing attachment and relationship patterns that lead to codependent dynamics. She uses solution-focused techniques to set reachable goals and mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity.
Cheryl is a practicing Christian and can include scripture or biblical perspectives when a client requests that approach. If faith is not desired, she uses evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches instead. She adapts to what each person finds most helpful.
People who choose her often want honest feedback and clear tools to manage daily life better. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Cheryl frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and replacing them with more helpful, realistic thoughts. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust as progress is made, so the plan fits the person's life and needs.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that's preferred. Licensed professionals can use cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques effectively in remote sessions while tailoring exercises and homework to everyday routines.
