About Cheryl
Cheryl Osler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Washington with ten years working as a licensed counselor in private practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, career concerns, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, ADHD, depression, and anger among other areas. She also accepts international clients and offers services in English.
Cheryl uses clear, skills-based methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also works from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas to help people notice what matters to them and build consistent action around those values.
Her background includes nursing and several graduate degrees in mental health and education. That mix informs a practical style that combines behavioral strategies with attention to meaning and personal values. Sessions tend to focus on learning concrete skills, trying them out between meetings, and reviewing what helps.
People often come for help with short-term problems like a spike in anxiety, or for ongoing concerns such as coping with chronic stress, relationship strain, or addictive behaviors. Cheryl can talk through strategies for managing anger that comes up with partners, coworkers, or within oneself, and for preventing resentment from building.
She also brings experience working with grief, parenting strains, caregiver stress, and first responder issues, and she volunteers with disaster mental health. Clients can expect straightforward goal-setting, practical exercises, and a focus on what can be changed in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cheryl works often from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it helps with anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, and anger by turning ideas into small, testable changes. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values; it can help when resentment or avoidance are keeping someone stuck.Finding the right approach is something to decide together. Cheryl will collaborate with the client to match methods to their goals, needs, and day-to-day constraints rather than assuming one route fits all. That means trying techniques, checking what works, and adjusting as progress is reviewed.
The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, and remove travel time so sessions fit around work or caregiving. Cheryl's clinical methods lend themselves to practical homework, values work, and behavioral experiments that can be planned and reviewed between meetings.
