About Cheryl
Cheryl Scott is a Florida-licensed Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and family issues. Cheryl also focuses on attachment concerns, codependency, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, social anxiety, and women's issues.
Cheryl uses a direct but respectful style. She says she will not sugarcoat things, but also will not tear people down. Sessions tend to combine honest self-examination with practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. That means clients can expect clear feedback and concrete steps to try between meetings.
Cheryl works with both faith-informed and secular approaches. As a practicing Christian she can bring biblical principles and scripture into sessions when a client requests that. If faith is not wanted, she focuses on evidence-based techniques instead.
Her tools include cognitive behavioral work to identify and change thinking patterns, dialectical behavior techniques for managing emotions, mindfulness practices for stress reduction, solution-focused steps for immediate problems, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. She aims to help people function better in daily life and in relationships.
People who contact her usually begin with a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cheryl notes that practical change and clearer day-to-day functioning are typical goals she helps people work toward.

She aims to choose practical steps and skills collaboratively so the work feels manageable and relevant to everyday life.
