About Cheryl

Cheryl (Susie) Briggs supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and issues with motivation. She also helps with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy questions, eating concerns, anger, bipolar mood patterns, and coping with big life changes. Susie is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with two decades of experience and offers a compassionate, respectful approach.

Susie listens first and then adapts the sessions to each person.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She emphasizes sensitivity and uses a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Over 20 years of practice in Utah have shaped her work style.

That experience informs how she supports people through difficult transitions and recurring problems. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices. Sessions can include short-term coaching or longer therapeutic work, depending on goals.

Susie aims to help clients strengthen self-love, address compulsive behaviors, and rebuild trust after infidelity when that is part of a person’s story. The tone is steady, frank, and compassionate. People working with her can expect a collaborative process.

She helps set clear aims, tracks progress, and adjusts plans as needs change. Her work is practical and rooted in real-world concerns faced by clients.

Evidence-based methods for online family and parenting concerns

Many of Susie's approaches use proven techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life change. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful thinking; this approach often supports anxiety, depression, and stress. Skills-based coaching breaks down goals into small steps to build motivation and better parenting routines. Exposure and response prevention methods are useful for addressing obsessions and compulsions by gradually reducing avoidance and ritual behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susie collaborates with clients to decide which techniques fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps the person make progress and feel more capable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. These options let people connect from home or another convenient place and choose the format that feels most comfortable. The range of formats supports flexible scheduling and allows regular contact between sessions when needed.
