About Cheryl
Cheryl Scott is a Florida-licensed LMHC with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and family concerns. She also often helps with attachment issues, codependency, divorce and separation, and social anxiety and phobia.
She uses a direct, respectful style in sessions. Cheryl does not sugarcoat what she sees, but she also does not tear people down. Conversations are straightforward and focused on clear steps the client can take between sessions.
Her work emphasizes changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach practical skills for emotion regulation and safer choices in relationships. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are woven into short-term plans when they suit the client's goals.
Cheryl can include scripture and biblical principles if a client requests faith-informed support. If faith is not wanted, she relies on evidence-informed methods and everyday problem solving. She helps people map small changes that reduce repeated patterns and make daily life more manageable.
Clients can expect clear feedback, skill practice, and goal-oriented sessions. The focus is on workable tools, realistic steps, and measurable progress toward the changes a person wants to make.
