About Cheryl

Cheryl Osler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington who brings a decade of experience focused on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, career transitions, addictions, grief, trauma and related concerns.

Background and approach

She integrates practical skills with reflective insight, guiding clients through coping strategies and behavior-oriented techniques to address mood, motivation, sleep, eating patterns, and issues such as self-esteem and intimacy.

Her background includes nursing and advanced study in clinical psychology and leadership, and she blends that grounding with therapeutic approaches rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance-based and client-centered perspectives. Cheryl emphasizes skill building, values-aligned choices, and exploration of underlying patterns to support change.

Her practice offers a combination of structured interventions and collaborative exploration tailored to each person’s goals and life context. Clients may encounter focused, goal-oriented sessions that emphasize concrete tools as well as space for deeper personal meaning and identity work.

Cheryl also brings experience from community and volunteer mental health work, and she aims to help people develop sustainable coping strategies and clearer direction during times of transition.

Evidence-informed approaches in online therapy

Cheryl draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in practical and values-aligned ways. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and teaches concrete tools for changing unhelpful responses, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and addiction-related behaviors. ACT emphasizes acceptance, mindfulness, and clarifying personal values so clients can move toward meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings, aiding with stress, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Sessions may blend structured skill-building with reflective, client-centered conversation so treatment aligns with practical needs and deeper personal concerns.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and allow ongoing access to support from home or during travel. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice newly learned skills between sessions while accommodating different communication styles and daily routines.
