About Cheryl
Cheryl Crosley-Culberson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people move through life changes, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly and feel heard.
Cheryl centers sessions on listening and understanding each person’s experience. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and make the work feel personal. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and elements from acceptance-focused and emotion-oriented methods to match the needs of the moment.
In practical terms, sessions often begin by identifying immediate struggles and what the person hopes to change. She helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with new ways of responding. For someone facing relationship strain or intimacy concerns, the work can include improving communication and recognizing patterns that block closeness.
For people recovering from trauma or facing panic and mood challenges, Cheryl offers steady support while building skills to manage difficult feelings. She also addresses issues like body image, social anxiety, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.
Her style is supportive and goal-oriented without being prescriptive. Cheryl encourages small, realistic steps and helps clients track progress over time. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire to schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
Working Online with Client-Centered and Action-Focused Methods
Cheryl uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening-first environment where the person’s priorities guide each session. This approach emphasizes empathy and understanding so clients can explore feelings and make choices at their own pace.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. ACT can be useful for life transitions, anxiety, and situations where someone wants to act differently despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another method she draws on to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills for mood, panic, and behavior change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will work with each person to weigh methods against their goals and preferences. Together they decide which mix of listening, skills practice, and values work best for the issue at hand.
