More about Cheryl

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LISW-CP

I am licensed in South Carolina with 28 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy related issues, end of life issues, life transitional periods, self esteem and depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I typically respond to your messages approximately 24 hours after receiving them.

My availability is, with rare exceptions, limited to weekends - Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons. It is important that your therapists' scheduling is able to accommodate your needs. If my availability will serve as a barrier to you receiving the very best treatment - please reach out to BetterHelp support. They will quickly match you with a therapist who will be available to support you when you are available.

With Gratitude,

Cheryl

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
