About Cheryl
Cheryl Freimuth is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She draws on a background that began in anatomy and biology education and later expanded into teaching mental health topics, including human sexuality, to counseling students.
Background and approach
That training and long career have contributed to a practical, client-focused approach that prioritizes respect, trust, and self-awareness. Her work emphasizes helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and depression, alongside related issues such as communication problems, codependency, grief and end-of-life matters, and life transitions like divorce or midlife challenges.
She uses a flexible, common-sense blend of methods and adapts techniques to match each person’s needs, often using cognitive behavioral strategies alongside client-centered and solution-focused ideas. Cheryl frames counseling as a collaborative journey, supporting clients as they explore their values, strengths, and goals and work toward clearer purpose and greater confidence.
How Cheryl's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Cheryl combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration so clients can identify their own goals and values; it helps when someone wants a supportive space to explore personal concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and learning practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address relationship or intimacy challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy highlights small, achievable changes and forward-looking strategies that can speed progress on specific problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cheryl works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options and try techniques that align with what the client wants to accomplish, adjusting strategies as progress is made.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility that can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. These options allow ongoing access to a licensed professional from different locations and support a range of communication styles, whether someone prefers face-to-face conversation by video or more frequent check-ins by messaging.
