About Cheryl
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and Georgia with 20 years of experience, Dr. Cheryl Rushing helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She is Dr. Cheryl Rushing and she offers direct, practical support for everyday struggles. Her work centers on talk-based methods and evidence-informed techniques.
Dr. Rushing draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. Sessions typically involve clarifying what matters to the client, identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and trying small, concrete changes between meetings. She uses a conversational style that focuses on what is happening now and what the client wants to change.
Her experience spans two decades in clinical settings. That background informs a steady approach to common problems like anxiety, anger, and low confidence. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and track progress over time.
Dr. Rushing adapts the way she works to each person's needs and preferences. She and the client set goals together and adjust techniques if something isn’t working. Treatment plans are practical and goal-directed, with attention to motivation and everyday functioning.
To begin, a prospective client completes a brief questionnaire and schedules a first session. The intake process helps match treatment approaches to the person's goals and circumstances.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small actions toward them even when emotions are difficult. It uses exercises and everyday commitments to shift how someone relates to thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It often uses short, practical assignments between sessions to change patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and breathing or grounding exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant to the client’s life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use audio-only options if bandwidth or being on camera is a concern. The focus remains on applying ACT, CBT, and mindfulness tools to real daily situations and building steady habits that carry over between appointments.
