About Cheryl

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 28 years of experience, Cheryl Miller Tivitt helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, trauma effects, and related concerns. She works with individuals across a range of issues including self-esteem, motivation, parenting strain, grief, sleep problems, anger, and mood conditions. Sessions are conducted in a straightforward, respectful way focused on practical steps and clear goals.

Cheryl draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She has worked in outpatient clinics, community settings, and online platforms, so she brings a mix of settings experience to each session. Conversation and targeted exercises are used to build skills for coping with current problems.

Therapy emphasizes concrete tools for dealing with daily stress and life transitions. Cheryl addresses caregiver stress, veteran and armed forces issues, bipolar and other mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, women’s issues, and concerns common to young adults. She also helps people understand and manage symptoms of ADHD.

Her approach is practical and adaptable. She discusses goals and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay focused on what the person wants to change. Progress is checked regularly and methods are adjusted when something isn’t working.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How Cheryl uses CBT in online sessions

Cheryl practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking that lead to stress and low mood. CBT sessions typically include step-by-step skills, practical exercises, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Her work also addresses trauma-related symptoms by applying CBT principles to manage triggers and reduce avoidance. That approach helps people build specific coping strategies for flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety linked to past events.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She reviews goals, current struggles, and preferences with each person, then adjusts methods if something isn’t working. The plan is reviewed over time so the work stays relevant to what the person wants to change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since session formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or a short break, reduce travel time, and allow sessions from a familiar setting. It can also support shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals, including this LCSW, help clients shape sessions to fit their daily routines and needs.
