About Cheryl
Cheryl Tredway is a Kansas Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 10 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD among other concerns. Cheryl commonly supports people navigating life changes like starting careers, relationship shifts, and grief.
She uses practical, down-to-earth talk in sessions and brings a sense of humor when appropriate. Sessions focus on clear goals and strategies rather than jargon. Cheryl aims to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and try different ways of responding.
Her approach draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and EMDR for trauma work. That means she listens closely, helps clients test thoughts and behaviors, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills, and can use eye movement work for traumatic memories when it fits a client's needs.
Cheryl has worked with a wide range of people, including university students, couples, military service members and veterans, and individuals managing addiction or anger. She also has experience supporting caregivers and those dealing with family origin issues, codependency, and infidelity. Her background includes both community and clinical settings in Kansas.
Practical problem solving and skill building often appear in sessions. Clients are encouraged to try small changes between meetings and review what helps. To start, readers are asked to complete the platform matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and a plan.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cheryl combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work means she listens closely and helps people set their own goals. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so daily routines and mood can improve. DBT adds practical emotion regulation and interpersonal skills for managing intense feelings and conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will discuss what feels most useful based on the issues you bring, your goals, and what you prefer to try. That conversation often shapes whether sessions emphasize skills practice, trauma processing, or both.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or busy days by removing travel time and allowing a quicker check-in. They also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options when full video is difficult. Discuss practical needs in the first appointment so session structure supports your daily life and goals.
