About Cheryl

Cheryl (Susie) Briggs is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in Utah with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problems with self-esteem. Cheryl also works with concerns such as relationship strain, parenting pressures, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes.

She keeps conversations direct and respectful. Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings. Cheryl aims to tailor discussions and plans to what each person actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all script.

Background and approach

Her approach is collaborative. She listens for what feels most important to you and then outlines small, doable changes. That might mean trying new routines, practicing emotion-management skills, or setting clearer boundaries in relationships.

Cheryl draws on two decades of client work to guide interventions and measure progress. She emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while pushing for realistic goals. People often come for help with motivation, managing overwhelming feelings, or regaining balance after a major life shift.

Sessions can include coaching-style support as well as traditional therapy conversations. Cheryl encourages people to be honest about what helps and what doesn’t so the plan can be adjusted. Taking the first step is hard, and she aims to make that step feel manageable and purposeful.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Cheryl commonly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One approach emphasizes developing routine and organizational strategies to reduce overwhelm and support attention, which can be helpful for people managing ADHD and daily responsibilities. Another approach centers on managing emotions and stress through simple coping tools and behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding to difficult situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and then try methods that match what you want to accomplish. This is a collaborative process, so plans are adjusted based on what proves useful in real life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions are a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers written check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain momentum between sessions.
