About Cheryl
Cheryl Miller Tivitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and challenges like sleep problems or low self-esteem. Cheryl speaks plainly and listens carefully to what matters most to each person.
She uses conversations tailored to each client's goals and pace. Sessions focus on practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Cheryl draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to look at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in outpatient offices, community settings, and online platforms. That range has given her experience with common life changes, caregiver stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder. She also supports people facing trauma and post-traumatic stress.
Cheryl values respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the room. She aims to create clear goals and step-by-step plans people can use between sessions. Parents and young adults who need help with parenting strain or starting adult life can find practical guidance.
Online formats are part of her practice to make therapy more flexible. People who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can use the format that fits their routine. Cheryl encourages gentle first steps for anyone returning to therapy or trying it for the first time.
CBT-informed care and flexible online sessions
Cheryl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT sessions often include setting concrete goals, trying new coping steps between meetings, and tracking progress over time.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl works with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust methods and pacing so the work feels doable and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when someone needs flexibility around a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep consistent contact and to use therapy in day-to-day life.
