About Sheryl
Sheryl Anderson is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico with 11 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Sheryl also focuses on related issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and substance use concerns.
She uses practical therapy methods to help people name what feels wrong and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on clear goals and specific steps people can use between meetings. Sheryl draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness practices, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide the work.
In sessions she pays attention to how past experiences shape current behavior, and she helps people practice new responses in everyday situations. People often bring relationship strain, grief after loss, stress from caregiving, or struggles with addiction and ask for help managing their thoughts and urges. She supports people dealing with the effects of trauma and domestic violence and those coping with dissociation or co-occurring conditions.
Sheryl encourages short-term tools and longer-term skill building. She works with practical problems like communication breakdowns, commitment issues, and body image concerns alongside emotional issues such as depression and anxiety. Her style emphasizes collaborative problem solving and steady skill practice.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How Sheryl uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and when people feel stuck about life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, and coping with urges or cravings.
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and supports self-directed exploration. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful listener while trying to make sense of changes in life or recover from loss.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change as the work progresses and as people test what helps most.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since options are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the intake process about how to shape sessions around work, caregiving, or health constraints to make therapy realistic and practical.
