About Cheryl
Cheryl Fraley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, addictions, and related concerns. Her practice also addresses grief, self-esteem, depression, attention issues, and compassion fatigue.
Cheryl uses a straightforward, person-focused style. She centers conversations on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Sessions look at patterns of thought and behavior, practical steps to try, and short-term goals clients can use between meetings.
Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and reactions that make anger and anxiety harder to manage. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to support decisions and build concrete coping skills. These methods are used in different combinations based on each person’s situation.
Cheryl has worked in Florida settings for many years and has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and domestic violence. She also addresses impulsivity, intellectual disability, isolation, and related issues.
People who choose her practice will find practical conversations about everyday challenges. She asks about current stressors and priorities, helps set clear short-term steps, and follows progress across sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps people organize their thoughts and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Then she will try methods that fit the situation and adjust them as progress is seen.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people work from quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them focus. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use these practical advantages to help keep goals moving forward.
