About Cheryl
Dr. Cheryl Rushing uses practical, person-centered methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of clinical experience in Texas and Georgia.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful, and she tailors conversations to each person's needs. People often come to her feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about next steps. She listens without judgment and helps them identify what matters most.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-world skills that can reduce tension, improve mood, and boost confidence. Dr. Rushing blends acceptance and mindfulness practices with cognitive strategies and emotionally-focused work.
That mix lets clients learn new ways to respond to difficult feelings, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and strengthen emotional awareness. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. Her style is collaborative and calm.
She works with each person to build a plan that matches their goals and day-to-day reality. Small, steady changes are emphasized over quick fixes. People who want practical tools for anger, stress, or low mood will find clear guidance and steady support.
Dr. Rushing encourages questions and partners with clients as they try new strategies and track what helps.

Evidence-informed approaches delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and build calm, which supports stress management and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest options. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can fit into a busy day or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or brief focused support. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life, while still allowing consistent work on goals and skills.
