About Cheryl

Cheryl Hann is a licensed professional counselor who uses a person-focused approach to guide people through hard life moments. She holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and has about 10 years of experience in mental health work. Cheryl aims to make conversations straightforward and practical so parents and individuals can take small steps that add up to real change.

She helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, and depression. She also addresses coping with life changes, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Additional focuses include body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and issues around emptiness. Cheryl brings several clinical methods to sessions. She commonly uses client-centered ways of working that prioritize the person's goals and voice.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and motivational interviewing are added when emotion regulation or change readiness is useful. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged from North Carolina.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging which can fit busy schedules. Cheryl understands that starting therapy is a big step and focuses on clear, respectful collaboration from the first meeting. Her credentials are SC LPC 10167 and NC LCMHC S15803.

People who want to begin can follow the site's Start Therapy process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Cheryl commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person wants to address, which helps people feel heard and in control of the process. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected and teaches small, practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping during stressful times.

Choosing the right approach happens with the client. Cheryl treats that choice as a collaboration and adjusts methods based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She will talk through options and try approaches that feel practical and manageable for each person.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, and family time. The variety also lets people try different ways of talking until they find what works best for them, so therapy can fit real life rather than the other way around.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
