About Cheryl

Cheryl Fraley is a Florida-licensed clinician who brings 25 years of counseling experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, parenting challenges, and ADHD.

Background and approach

As an LMHC she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting conversations and care plans to each person’s specific situation and goals. Cheryl frames the therapeutic relationship as collaborative, helping clients identify practical steps and insights that fit their daily lives.

Her background includes supporting individuals coping with grief, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and significant life transitions. She also addresses a range of related issues such as attachment and communication problems, caregiver stress, and challenges linked to adoption, neurodiversity, or intellectual disability.

Cheryl favors methods that center the client’s perspective and focus on achievable change over time, tailoring techniques to what will be most useful for each person.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cheryl frequently draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with clients online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, respectful space where the person’s experience guides the work; it is helpful for building insight, self-esteem, and emotional processing. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, impulsivity, or stress.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She partners with each client to explore which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time to improve fit and progress.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Florida without the need to travel, and they support follow-up, skill practice, and brief check-ins between longer sessions.
