About Cheryl
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of experience, Cheryl Coney helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and life transitions. She works with clients who face relationship and parenting struggles, grief, career pressures, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive concerns, self-harm, and personality-related difficulties. Cheryl uses straightforward, practical methods to help people identify next steps and regain control.
Cheryl trained in social work and counseling psychology and has worked in residential, inpatient, and outpatient settings. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Social Work in 2011 and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology in 2016. Those roles exposed her to a wide variety of life experiences and clinical challenges.
Her approach emphasizes client-centered talk combined with specific skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals, checking what is working, and adjusting plans as needed. She also draws on mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to support change.
In sessions Cheryl helps people name patterns that cause distress and practice different behaviors. She aims to make treatment practical so clients can test new ways of coping between meetings. Conversations are interactive and goal-focused rather than lecture-based.
Cheryl encourages clients to set their own definition of success and to take small, measurable steps toward it. She asks for client input when creating the plan and revisits progress regularly. To begin, she guides people through a short intake and planning process to clarify what to work on.

How Cheryl’s approaches translate to remote work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and perspective. In practice this means conversations that prioritize what matters to the client and use their input to shape goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, obsessions, and many daily stressors because it breaks problems into concrete steps and experiments.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Cheryl will review your concerns, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. That process may combine client-centered conversations with CBT exercises, DBT skills, or mindfulness practice depending on your needs and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow a brief check-in during a break. They also let people practice skills between meetings and use in-session coaching to test new behaviors in real time. The aim is to make work on skills and goals fit into everyday life while adjusting methods to what actually helps.
