About Cheryl
Cheryl Freimuth is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and depression. Cheryl also focuses on life purpose, midlife concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and challenges tied to illness and end-of-life care.
Cheryl began her career teaching anatomy and biology at the high school level and later taught in a mental health program. That background led her to teach human sexuality to counseling students and informed her practical approach to counseling. Over her 25 years in practice she has built a broad set of skills drawn from multiple methods.
Her work uses Client-Centered Therapy as a foundation. That means she centers the client's perspective and supports self-awareness as the route to finding answers. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address unhelpful thinking and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. Cheryl describes her style as common-sense and eclectic, adjusting methods to what helps the person most. In practice this can look like talking through communication patterns, clarifying values related to life purpose, or planning small steps to reduce panic or anxiety.
Her experience includes supporting people facing divorce or separation, codependency, infidelity, guilt and shame, and relationship communication problems. She also has experience with cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Cheryl works in English and practices in Florida.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cheryl combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening to the client's experience and building self-awareness so people can find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety and panic. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and identifying what is already working to build momentum.Choosing an approach is part of the collaborative work. Cheryl will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then suggest which methods to use and adjust them over time. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to try and when to shift focus.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical appointments, or caregiving by removing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if bandwidth or comfort is a concern. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match daily routines and practical needs.
