She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and coping with natural or human-caused disasters.

How Sheryl uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice the thoughts and feelings that lead to avoidance and to choose actions that fit personal values. It is often used when guilt or shame keeps someone from doing things that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses small experiments to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment experience.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client evaluate what fits the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and may shift emphasis over time as goals change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding travel time. They also make it simpler to try techniques between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation without promising a particular format or result.
