About Cheryl
Cheryl Fraley is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting issues.

Cheryl listens in a direct, person-centered way and uses practical methods to help people gain control of daily problems. Sessions typically include clear goal setting and straightforward strategies. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused ideas to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her work often touches on family-related pressures such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and communication problems. Cheryl also supports people facing caregiver stress, codependency, and intimacy-related difficulties. She pays attention to how trauma, attachment, and developmental differences like autism can shape relationships and behavior.
Over the years she has helped people deal with impulsivity, ADHD-related challenges, isolation, and feelings of guilt or shame. Her approach mixes motivational interviewing techniques with client-centered conversations to clarify what someone wants to change and why it matters to them.
If someone is considering therapy, Cheryl asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Cheryl integrates therapy approaches for online sessions
Cheryl draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's concerns and perspective. This approach means conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on listening first to understand their priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT offers practical steps to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, mood, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and helps clients decide which methods to use. That collaboration shapes the plan and lets adjustments be made as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy household by removing travel time and allowing appointments during shorter breaks in the day. They can also allow for quieter, camera-off check-ins or more structured, skills-focused meetings depending on what someone needs. Licensed professionals aim to match the approach and format to each person's goals.
