About Cheryl
Cheryl Comfort is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, and career stress. Cheryl names adoption and foster care among her additional areas of focus, and she works with people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues as well.
Her style is compassionate and direct. Cheryl creates a calm space where people can talk about painful experiences and notice what matters most to them. Sessions emphasize practical skills, clearer communication, and building everyday routines that reduce overwhelm.
Cheryl uses a mix of approaches based on each person’s needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and goals, and attachment-based work to address relational patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies and client-centered listening also appear when useful.
With eight years as a licensed professional counselor, she brings experience helping people through life changes, complex trauma, and co-occurring concerns like ADHD and mood conditions. Cheryl aims to help people find manageable steps forward rather than quick fixes.
Many clients come for help with specific problems such as body image, codependency, or communication struggles. Cheryl focuses on clear goals, steady progress, and practical tools clients can use between sessions.
How Cheryl’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while learning to tolerate uncomfortable feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change repeated dynamics that cause distress or distance.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Cheryl will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they shape a plan that mixes skills practice, reflective work, and goal-focused steps so the method fits the person, not the other way around.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find virtual sessions support steady progress through homework, skill practice, and clearer planning for real-life changes.
