About Cheryl

Cheryl Crosley-Culberson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

Her background also includes work around attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control challenges, impulsivity, mood and panic disorders, and issues related to life purpose and self-love. Cheryl prioritizes creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult thoughts and emotions.

She blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered principles to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Her style emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, supporting clients as they take steps toward meaningful change.

Clients who are seeking practical tools alongside empathetic support may find her approach helpful, especially when addressing coping skills, emotion regulation, and interpersonal patterns. Cheryl encourages the courage it takes to pursue a more satisfying life and offers guidance as clients work toward clearer goals and healthier habits.

Integrating proven approaches into online care

Cheryl often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for mood and anxiety management. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support individuals in clarifying values and building flexible responses to difficult internal experiences. Both approaches can be applied to concerns such as depression, panic, impulsivity, and relationship struggles by focusing on skills and meaningful action.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and presenting issues, and then tailors a blend of techniques that fit the client’s needs. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning their care and testing what works best for their situation.

Online therapy with Cheryl is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible around work and life obligations. These options allow clients to access therapy from home or other convenient locations and to use the communication style that feels most comfortable for them, supporting continuity of care and practical engagement in the therapeutic work.
