About Cheryl
Cheryl Osler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Washington with ten years working in private practice. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, career shifts, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, and attention concerns. Cheryl also lists support for issues like intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression.
She draws on several therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered work. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps that people can use between meetings. Cheryl describes CBT as a short-term, problem-focused method that helps change unhelpful thought patterns that affect behavior.
Her background includes nursing and clinical mental health training and a long history in mental health settings. Before private practice she worked in clinical roles and has volunteer experience with disaster mental health through the American Red Cross. That mix of clinical and community work shapes her practical focus.
In sessions she aims to teach skills for daily life - coping tools, communication techniques, and ways to manage stress and mood. She uses talk-based work alongside evidence-informed methods to help clients make concrete changes. These can include behavioral experiments, mindfulness practices, and values-based action.
Cheryl accepts clients from Washington and from other locations internationally in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site.
How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with life transitions, anxiety, and deciding on career or relationship directions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, addictions, and sleep or eating difficulties by practicing concrete skills and experiments between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the client’s own goals, helping people notice their strengths and choices in difficult moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. They adjust methods as needed so the plan fits the person’s life and aims, making decisions together rather than following a set script.
