About Cheryl
Cheryl Sessoms is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, and career questions. Cheryl also focuses on isolation, life purpose, panic attacks, and building self-love. She conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Cheryl uses an approachable, client-centered style that keeps the person’s needs central. She listens for what matters and helps people name the feelings getting in the way. That practical attention often makes it easier to try one small change at a time.
She also draws on emotionally-focused work to help people understand and reorganize strong emotions in key relationships. That can matter when grief, trauma, or panic cycles make everyday life harder. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple ways to notice stress and reduce reactivity.
Cheryl brings solution-focused tools when a person wants clear steps for moving forward. Those tools help with career decisions, motivation, and when someone is feeling stuck about what comes next. Sessions typically focus on short, achievable changes and checking progress.
Her approach mixes listening, emotion-focused work, and practical steps. People new to therapy are guided through a short intake and the first session plan. To begin, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.
How Cheryl’s approach translates to online sessions
Cheryl blends client-centered listening with emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based techniques. Client-Centered Therapy means she centers conversations on the person’s own goals, reflects what she hears, and helps clients decide the next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at strong feelings and patterns that show up in relationships and personal reactions, which can be useful for grief, trauma responses, and panic. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. The process is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all, so techniques and pacing change as needs and preferences become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They can also allow you to work through emotional material while keeping practical life demands in mind. Work with Cheryl to choose the session rhythm and format that best fits your daily schedule and goals.
