About Cheryl

Dr. Cheryl Rushing is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety and anger, and build stronger self-esteem.

She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In sessions she listens carefully, then helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

Together they try small, doable changes that fit daily life. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She adjusts conversations and plans to match each person's needs and pace.

That means sessions can look different depending on whether someone needs coping skills, problem-focused work, or space to process difficult feelings. Over two decades of work have included helping people regain motivation and confidence. She pays attention to what matters most to the person in front of her and focuses on steps that lead toward those goals.

The work is collaborative and paced to avoid overwhelm. People who reach out can expect straightforward language and practical tools. The aim is to help people feel more able to handle life changes and day-to-day stress.

Dr. Rushing supports each person in finding what works for them and building from there.

Online support

Emotion and skills work in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name their core feelings and how those feelings show up in relationships and daily life. It is useful when strong emotions get in the way of connection or clear decision making.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and learning ways to accept difficult thoughts while taking action toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that lead to different results.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus more on emotional processing, values-based action, or practical skill building, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging can support quick check-ins, homework reminders, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
