About Cheryl

Cheryl Tredway is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas with a decade of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, anger, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting struggles, self-esteem challenges, career questions, ADHD, and other life transitions.

Her practice also addresses caregiving stress, codependency, communication problems, control issues, disaster-related coping, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance addiction, family-of-origin dynamics, guilt and shame, infidelity, and mood disorders. Cheryl blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered principles, and she also uses dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and elements of the Gottman Method when appropriate.

Her style emphasizes meeting clients where they are, identifying concrete goals, and empowering people to develop practical strategies for overcoming obstacles. She values humor and compassion in the therapeutic process and encourages clients to bring their authentic selves into sessions.

Clients seeking help can expect a collaborative approach that focuses on insight and actionable skills to address root causes and daily challenges. Cheryl’s training and years of practice inform a pragmatic, flexible way of working that aims to support lasting change while honoring each person’s unique circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression; CBT focuses on practical exercises and measurable progress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and tailoring the pace of work to each person so they feel heard and respected. In situations involving trauma, elements of EMDR may be used to address distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, and she adjusts methods as the work unfolds so the treatment stays aligned with what the client needs and wants.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access therapy from different locations within Kansas.
