About Cheryl
Cheryl Tredway is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and parenting concerns. She uses straightforward talk and practical tools to help people handle day-to-day struggles. Cheryl aims to meet people where they are and set goals together.
She keeps a warm, down-to-earth tone and allows room for humor when appropriate. Cheryl earned both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Counseling from Emporia State University in Kansas.
Background and approach
She has practiced since 2012, bringing ten years of clinical experience to her work. Her training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and telehealth methods. In sessions she blends gentle listening with hands-on strategies.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws from client-centered therapy to keep the work focused on the person’s needs and goals. Cheryl has developed experience across a range of concerns, including addictions, grief, intimacy issues, ADHD, and caregiver stress.
She pays attention to family patterns and communication problems when they affect someone’s wellbeing. Her style is practical: notice what isn’t working, try small changes, and track what helps. For parents and individuals navigating life transitions, Cheryl offers coaching-style guidance alongside traditional therapy.
She encourages clients to identify realistic next steps and build skills for coping. To begin, prospective clients follow a short intake and match process to arrange sessions.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Cheryl commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that helps process painful memories and lower their emotional charge.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person’s values and goals. That means sessions begin with listening and respect, then she and the client decide together which tools to try. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as goals evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions. Whether a client prefers face-to-face conversation by video or shorter exchanges via messaging, the format can be tailored to match needs and daily routines.
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.
