About Cheryl
Cheryl Comfort is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience in Arkansas. She focuses on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, parenting stress, and challenges common to young adults. She also helps people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Cheryl keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and manage intense emotions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work to help clients clarify values and repair relational patterns.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she and the client pick small, doable steps to try between meetings. That might include behavior experiments, communication practice, or grounding and emotion regulation skills for moments of overwhelm.
Cheryl often works with people facing life transitions such as leaving home, starting or changing jobs, and relationship shifts. She helps people sort priorities, set boundaries, and rebuild routines after loss or separation. Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and real-world assignments.
Her experience includes supporting people from a range of backgrounds and life stages. She offers sessions in English and is based in Arkansas. Before booking, confirm current session formats and any practice details through the platform's scheduling steps.
Therapy approaches to use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions guided by their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and making life changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with strong emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what feels useful.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in day-to-day environments and bring real situations into the conversation for problem-solving.
