About Cheryl
Cheryl Miller Tivitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or life transitions. Cheryl writes plainly and works to make the first step easier for people who are nervous about starting therapy.
She draws on 28 years of experience across outpatient clinics, community settings, and online practice. Cheryl uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She tailors sessions to fit practical goals like better sleep, clearer routines, or managing strong emotions. Cheryl often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that lead to anxiety or anger. In sessions she and the client set small, doable steps to practice between meetings.
This approach is aimed at giving tools for daily life, not quick fixes. She also supports people facing grief, caregiver stress, parenting challenges, mood issues, and the impact of trauma. Cheryl pays attention to how life changes and seasons affect mood and energy, including concerns like Seasonal Affective Disorder and bipolar mood patterns.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online by following the site’s sign-up process. Cheryl encourages people who have tried therapy before and those who are new to it to reach out and begin with a simple matching questionnaire.

Approaches Cheryl lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Online approaches and practical options for therapy
Cheryl often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. CBT helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that make stress, anxiety, or anger worse. It focuses on simple, practical exercises to try between meetings to build new habits and reduce symptoms.The best approach is decided together. Cheryl works collaboratively to learn what you want to change and which methods fit your goals and daily life. She adjusts plans as you try techniques and notice what helps most, so therapy evolves with your needs.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues when you want them. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits your schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging let you share brief updates, practice skills, or get support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum on progress.
