About Cheryl
Cheryl Fraley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 25 years of experience guiding people through stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. Cheryl focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She talks plainly and meets each person where they are. Cheryl uses a client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals first. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing is used when people are facing change or uncertainty. Solution-focused work helps set clear, small goals that add up over time. Many people come for help with family and parenting strain, or work through trauma and abuse.
She also supports those coping with addictions, relationship problems, and intimacy challenges. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, ADHD, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and caregiver stress. Sessions are designed to fit the person’s needs.
Cheryl aims to make each session useful and understandable. She adapts language and pace so people can try new skills between meetings. Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of settings in Florida.
Cheryl encourages small steps at first and builds a plan from there. She believes starting therapy takes courage and honors that choice. If someone wants help managing anger or navigating life changes, she offers a calm, steady presence to talk things through.

How Cheryl’s Approaches Work Online
Cheryl combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make concrete changes. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the person's priorities, with a focus on listening and understanding their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change patterns that cause distress. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Cheryl will work with each person to identify their goals and try methods that fit those goals. Over a few sessions she adjusts the plan so the work feels useful and realistic for everyday life. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls provide face-to-face time for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or when a written approach helps someone process thoughts. These options give flexibility and let people keep momentum between meetings.Questions people ask about Cheryl
