About Cheryl
Cheryl Osler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She brings ten years of counseling experience and a practical approach that focuses on clear tools and steady support. Clients can expect straightforward talks about what’s happening now and what changes feel most important.
Cheryl uses short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection so people can see practical shifts and make choices that fit their lives.
Background and approach
She explains concepts simply and helps build skills that can be used day to day. Her background includes nursing and clinical psychology training, which shaped a focus on both mental health and overall functioning. That mix informs how she balances symptom-focused work with attention to values and life goals.
Cheryl has also volunteered in disaster mental health settings, adding experience with crisis and high-stress situations. In sessions she blends several approaches, choosing methods that match the person’s needs. She often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and acceptance-based strategies to manage painful emotions without getting stuck.
She also draws on client-centered listening to help people feel heard and understood. Cheryl offers therapy for a wide range of concerns including addiction, grief, trauma, grief, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She works with adults to set realistic goals, track progress, and adjust methods as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.

How Cheryl’s Approaches Work Online
Cheryl commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when difficult emotions are present, which helps people manage anger, grief, and life changes. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that match those needs, and adjust the plan based on what works. This makes it easier to combine short-term skills with deeper, values-based work when needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in during a busy day, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
