    About Cheryl

    Cheryl Coney is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience helping people facing depression, anxiety, addictions, and life transitions. She works with adults and adolescents and has practiced in residential, inpatient, and outpatient settings. Cheryl brings enthusiasm and steady support to each session. She focuses on helping people define what success looks like for them and take practical steps toward it.

    Cheryl uses straightforward conversation and a warm, interactive style. She combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools and dialectical strategies. This means sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and practicing skills to manage emotions.

    She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice difficult feelings without getting swept away by them. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone wants to find their own reasons to change. Sessions are shaped around the client’s goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

    Cheryl has worked with concerns that include OCD symptoms, personality difficulties, self-harm, grief, parenting stress, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She aims to help clients examine their beliefs and experiment with different perspectives to build confidence and healthier habits.

    If someone is looking for respectful, nonjudgmental support, Cheryl emphasizes collaboration. She asks for client input when creating treatment plans and adjusts strategies as needs evolve.

  2. Approaches that guide online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find personal reasons to make changes. It uses gentle questions and reflective listening to draw out a person’s own goals and strengths. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and follows the client’s lead, giving people space to set the pace and focus of sessions.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the approach stays useful and relevant.

    The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm format options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can tailor tools and homework to work well in remote sessions and help clients practice skills between meetings.
