About Cheryl

Cheryl Huber is a New York licensed mental health counselor with 10 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, and depression. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

Cheryl aims to make reaching out feel straightforward and manageable for someone already stretched thin. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings honestly. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, usable changes rather than jargon.

Background and approach

Cheryl draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns and from dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills. Her background includes a decade of practice in New York, guiding people through life transitions and recurring mood challenges. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, attachment concerns, communication problems, and panic symptoms.

Cheryl pays attention to how guilt, control issues, or impulsivity show up in daily life and looks for practical ways to reduce their impact. In sessions she listens first, then collaborates on a plan that fits each person’s situation. The pace is set by client needs and comfort.

Cheryl encourages small experiments between appointments to test new ways of relating, coping, and feeling more steady. Overall, her approach is straightforward and supportive. She helps people find clearer thinking and steadier emotional footing while navigating family and parenting pressures.

How Cheryl’s Approaches Work Online

Cheryl uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people with stress, anxiety, mood swings, and relationship problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to think and act differently. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl listens to each person’s goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. Together they track what helps and adjust methods over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy lives. These formats can make it easier to keep regular appointments, practice skills between meetings, and get support without extra travel. The mix of conversation and short skill-building practices translates well to remote work, allowing steady progress while handling family and daily demands.

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.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
