About Sherilyn
Sherilyn Cho is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Hawaii with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, addictions, and challenges related to parenting or family life. Sherilyn uses clear, practical methods to help clients build skills and manage day-to-day struggles.
She favors a collaborative, client-centered way of working. That means conversations focus on what the client wants to change and on the strengths they already have. Sherilyn also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors that reduce distress.
Her background includes in-home intensive work and skills training in school settings. Those roles shaped a hands-on approach to problem solving and skill building. She often helps clients set small, doable goals and practice them between sessions.
Sherilyn also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they fit the situation. Mindfulness work can help reduce reactivity, including anger and impulsive responses. Motivational interviewing is used to explore and strengthen personal reasons for change, especially around addictions or habit patterns.
People looking for practical steps to manage anger, cope with life changes, or improve communication may find her approach useful. She works in English and sees clients in Hawaii. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Sherilyn commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her sessions. Client-centered work focuses on what the client wants to change and uses their strengths as the starting point. It helps when someone needs straightforward, practical support or clearer decision making. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people try different actions to reduce distress, which is helpful for anger, anxiety, and depression.She also brings mindfulness into sessions as a way to notice stress and reduce automatic reactivity. Mindfulness exercises can be short practices to help calm the body and slow down impulsive responses. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together; Sherilyn will help clients decide what fits best based on their goals and daily life. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their own environment and then discuss what happened with a licensed professional.
