Sherilyn Cho, LMHC - Therapist in Hawaii

About Sherilyn

Sherilyn Cho is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who uses a collaborative, person-focused style to support families and parents. She centers sessions on practical skills and clear steps that people can use at home. Sherilyn keeps language simple and meets clients where they are, offering encouragement and steady guidance during tough moments.

She has six years of experience working in community settings, including Intensive In-Home therapy and school-based skills training.

Background and approach

That background shaped her interest in helping families, children, and adolescents manage stress, behavior challenges, and big life changes. She focuses on everyday obstacles like anxiety, depression, grief, parenting worries, and addiction concerns. In sessions she draws on client-centered work to listen closely and follow each person’s priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness tools are used when clients want to build motivation and calm in the moment. Sherilyn emphasizes small, usable changes - one step at a time.

Parents often leave with specific strategies for communication, routine, and managing overwhelm. She pays attention to strengths and helps people build on what already works. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging.

Cost varies by location and is managed through a cancellable subscription model.

Practical approaches for online family support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s goals. It helps when someone needs a calm space to be heard and to figure out what matters most in parenting or family life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily stressors.

Sherilyn treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. She will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust based on what helps most. The work is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let families meet face to face from home. Phone sessions and live chat provide options when a screen or schedule is a barrier. Text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy family lives.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
