About Cheryl
Cheryl Crosley-Culberson is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 21 years of experience. She creates a calm space where people can talk about painful experiences and take steps toward change. Cheryl aims to support and empower each person who reaches out, respecting their pace and goals.
She has helped people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and struggles with motivation. Cheryl also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, as well as panic disorder and panic attacks among other mood and anxiety issues. Her work often includes topics like attachment, abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, and communication problems.
Cheryl’s style is straightforward and compassionate. She listens first and asks practical questions to find what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on building steady skills and clearer thinking rather than quick fixes.
Her approach draws on several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those tools are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, manage intense feelings, and act in ways that match their values.
People who value a collaborative, respectful therapist often do well with Cheryl. She encourages small steps that fit daily life and supports clients as they try new ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take small steps toward a life they value. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments. It is commonly used for panic attacks, mood disorders, and social anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening and reflection to help clarify goals and next steps.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made, so treatment can shift when something else might help more.
Confirm current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up conversations between in-person visits when appropriate. Some people prefer a shorter check-in by phone when time is tight, while others like video for face-to-face interaction; the therapist will help plan sessions that fit daily life and therapeutic goals.
