About Cheryl

Cheryl Scott is a Florida-licensed LMHC with 25 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical change for everyday life. Cheryl uses a direct but respectful style and will work with clients to identify patterns that keep them stuck.

She blends hands-on strategies with thoughtful reflection. Sessions aim to change unhelpful thinking and behavior while building skills to handle intense feelings.

Background and approach

Hypnotherapy is one of the approaches she uses alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address trauma, anxiety, and relationship wounds. Cheryl is comfortable including biblical principles and scripture for clients who want faith-informed care. If faith is not part of a client's goals, she leans on evidence-based methods and straightforward problem solving instead.

The tone in sessions tends to be honest, practical, and focused on what works next. Expect clear feedback and concrete homework you can try between visits. Cheryl emphasizes small, consistent steps that improve daily functioning and relationships.

She also pays attention to attachment issues, codependency, divorce and separation, and family problems. Over time sessions cover forgiveness, shame, self-love, and social anxiety skills. Cheryl centers each plan on the client’s needs and goals, helping them build more reliable ways of coping and relating.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches for change you can use online

Cheryl commonly integrates Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work. Hypnotherapy involves guided focused attention to help reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful habits, and support emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing negative thoughts and behaviors to lessen symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Some people respond quickly to solution-focused steps, while others benefit from slower skill-building or hypnotherapy techniques tied to trauma recovery.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick coaching during the week, and a flexible way to track progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapy into busy lives.
