About Cheryl
Cheryl Osler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with attention and addiction. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical skills that clients can use between sessions. Cheryl practices from Washington and offers online options for people who need flexible scheduling.
Cheryl draws on a mix of therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients see how thoughts affect behavior and to teach new coping skills.
Background and approach
She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to support values-driven change and to create a calm, listening environment. Her background includes nursing and advanced study in clinical psychology and leadership. She has worked in mental health settings for many years and has a decade in licensed mental health counseling in independent practice.
That experience includes supporting people through trauma, caregiving stress, and major life changes. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and skills practice. Clients can expect problem-focused work for things like sleep, eating concerns, anger, career strain, or relational communication.
Cheryl also addresses long-term issues such as bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and identity concerns using a paced, collaborative process. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. International clients may be supported when possible.
New clients begin by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Approach and how online therapy can work for you
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes make decisions feel hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills for sleep, mood, and anxiety problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and priorities of work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cheryl works collaboratively to see which methods fit a client's goals and daily life. She adapts techniques as needed and checks in regularly to make sure the work feels helpful and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching moments, or when messaging fits a person's routine. These options help people fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or travel.
