About Cheryl Scott

Cheryl Scott is a Florida-licensed Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 25 years of experience supporting adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, or the lingering impact of painful past experiences. Many people seek therapy when they are worn out by repeating patterns and want practical tools that help them move forward with more clarity and steadiness.

Her style is direct yet respectful. She focuses on honest self-reflection while also offering concrete, workable strategies to help clients shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that can interfere with daily life, emotional wellbeing, and close relationships. The work is designed to be grounded and actionable, with attention to what is happening now and what can realistically change over time.

As a practicing Christian, Cheryl can incorporate biblical principles and scripture when a client requests a faith-informed approach.

She welcomes clients who are ready for practical support and a clear path toward meaningful, lasting change.

Practical Approaches, Flexible Online Support

Cheryl Scott draws from structured, skills-based methods that help clients understand what is driving distress and what can change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep showing up in relationships by identifying what is unhelpful and practicing more effective responses.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is often a good fit when feelings escalate quickly, conflict repeats, or it is hard to stay grounded during triggering moments. Mindfulness Therapy supports learning how to notice thoughts and emotions without getting swept up in them, which can reduce reactivity and strengthen day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach does not have to be something clients figure out alone. Cheryl collaborates with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a way that fits real life. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging for added flexibility between sessions.
