About Cheryl
Cheryl Scott is a Florida-licensed LMHC with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, trauma and family concerns, including issues around guilt and shame.
She works in a direct but respectful way. Cheryl does not sugarcoat things, and she avoids tearing people down. Sessions focus on clear talk about patterns that keep repeating, and on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Her approach mixes cognitive and behavioral tools with emotion regulation skills. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused methods to help people manage strong feelings and make concrete changes.
Cheryl also offers hypnotherapy when appropriate and welcomes clients who want faith integrated into sessions. As a practicing Christian she can include biblical principles and scripture if the client prefers; if not, she uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods.
People working with her generally can expect guided exercises, skill practice, and direct feedback. She emphasizes identifying patterns, trying small changes, and checking what works in daily life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
