About Cheryl
Cheryl Crosley-Culberson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, and struggles with motivation. Cheryl speaks English and carries her Texas LPC credential in her professional title.
Cheryl works in a straightforward, client-centered way. She encourages people to talk through their thoughts and feelings and to name what is happening in their relationships and personal lives. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when those methods fit a person's goals.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and emotional understanding. That can mean learning new ways to handle cravings, noticing patterns after trauma, or practicing skills for mood and anxiety. She also helps people who are struggling with intimacy-related issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and caregiver stress.
People can expect a blend of talking and active steps in the work. Cheryl uses elements of client-centered therapy to listen, CBT and DBT tools to change behaviors and manage strong emotions, and ACT to clarify values and next steps. The emphasis is on clear goals and steady progress over time.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Cheryl integrates EFT, ACT and CBT in online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about naming emotions and seeing how they shape close interactions and relationship patterns. It can help people recognize and change repetitive emotional responses that cause distress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking steps toward those values, even when difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves noticing unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression or panic.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will talk with a client about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust techniques based on what helps. That collaborative process means methods can be mixed, such as using EFT to clarify emotions and CBT or DBT skills for emotion regulation.
The therapist's biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow work during a lunch break. Different formats also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or use shorter check-ins when that suits their schedule.
