About Cheryl
Cheryl Marrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in the District of Columbia. She has 25 years of clinical experience helping people who are dealing with addiction, stress, anxiety, anger, and changes in self-esteem. She also supports those coping with major life changes and relationship and family concerns.
Cheryl focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. She listens for patterns in relationships, communication, and behavior. Then she offers steps people can try between sessions to test new ways of relating and managing strong emotions.
Her work draws on several approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method. Those methods are used to notice emotional responses, practice clearer communication, and build more reliable ways of coping with stress and addiction.
Cheryl often addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, commitment concerns, forgiveness, and blended family challenges. She also has experience with substance misuse and with people who have served in the armed forces. Sessions include conversations about goals, communication skills practice, and developing plans for everyday situations.
People meet Cheryl to talk through current problems and to test small changes that can make daily life more manageable. She works in English and accepts international clients who want to connect from outside the District of Columbia.
How Cheryl blends emotion-focused work with online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their emotions and the patterns those emotions create in close relationships. It can help when someone feels stuck in repeated hurts, withdrawal, or conflict. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear, respectful listening and on building understanding through the client's own experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and provides step-by-step practices to shift responses.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss what feels most useful and try methods that match a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try therapeutic exercises from their own everyday settings, which can help apply new skills between sessions.
