About Sheryl
Sheryl McAlhaney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, depression, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people facing communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, life purpose questions, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, forgiveness, and coping with life changes.
Sheryl works in a straightforward way. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with clearer, more useful habits. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients test thoughts, try new coping skills, and track what changes. Conversations are practical and focused on what a person wants to change in day-to-day life.
Her approach emphasizes small, concrete steps. Clients can expect short exercises in and between sessions, and clear goals for what they want to work on. She pays attention to how stress and burnout affect functioning, especially for people feeling exhausted or disconnected.
Sheryl draws on a decade and a half of clinical experience to guide each plan of work. She explains strategies in plain language and checks in on progress regularly. The aim is to make therapy useful and manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.

Sheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) online to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions are practical and often include brief exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that a person can try between meetings. These techniques are commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and social anxiety.Finding the right way to work is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose which CBT tools fit their goals and preferences. That may mean adjusting homework, pacing sessions differently, or combining ideas to suit a client's daily routine.
