About Cheryl

Cheryl Osler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Washington with ten years working in private practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, addiction, grief, and mood issues among other life problems. Cheryl has a background in nursing and mental health care and brings years of clinical experience to her counseling role.

She uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people manage symptoms and make changes they can sustain. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors in everyday life. Cheryl draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches when they fit a person’s goals.

Her nursing and mental health training inform a practical style. Clients can expect clear explanations of techniques and step-by-step guidance for homework between sessions. The focus is on workable tools for sleep, coping with grief, managing anger, and improving relationships at home.

Cheryl also integrates existential and Jungian ideas for people who want to examine meaning, identity, and long-standing patterns. Those interests show up as questions about values, life direction, and recurring relationship themes rather than formal testing or interpretation.

She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Before booking, readers should confirm specific session options. To begin, people follow the usual sign-up flow to match and schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Cheryl commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts that drive behavior and practicing different actions to reduce symptoms like anxiety or insomnia. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning new ways to relate to difficult feelings.

She also draws on client-centered principles, which means listening closely and shaping the work around what matters to the person. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the client’s situation and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, such as shorter check-ins during a work break, sessions that avoid travel time, or options that reduce the need to be on camera. The focus is on making therapy practical so skills can be used between meetings.
