About Sherilyn
Sherilyn Cho is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Hawaii with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and guilt and shame, as well as issues linked to parenting, family dynamics, and addictions.
Sherilyn uses a collaborative, client-centered way of working. She listens first, then helps people notice strengths they already have. From there she offers practical skills to manage intense feelings and make small, steady changes in daily life.
Her practice also includes areas like ADHD, trauma and abuse, communication problems, and obsessions or compulsions. She has worked in intensive in-home roles and as a skills trainer in schools, bringing hands-on experience with people across different settings.
Sherilyn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to break down difficult thoughts and patterns into steps people can try between sessions. She also uses motivational interview approaches to support decision-making and existential ideas to help people consider values and meaning when facing life transitions.
People often come for help with parenting stress, family conflict, self-esteem, or recovery from substance use. Sherilyn offers straightforward guidance and practical exercises to make everyday moments more manageable. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are used to set goals and identify which techniques might fit best.
How Sherilyn uses therapy models online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves active listening and helping people describe their experience. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and wants to build on what already works for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It breaks bigger problems into smaller steps and offers exercises to try between sessions; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and guilt-driven thinking.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment experience. It can help with stress, compulsions, and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherilyn will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. That choice may shift as goals change and as people try different tools.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, require less travel, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people try camera-off meetings when they prefer. Licensed professionals use these formats to help clients continue regular work on their concerns from wherever they are.
