About Cheryl
Cheryl Sessoms is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma or abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing career uncertainty and panic attacks.
Cheryl uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches to help clients notice and name difficult emotions. She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective, mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, and solution-focused steps to identify small, practical changes.
In sessions she encourages clear, honest conversation about what is happening now. She aims to reduce self-criticism and increase awareness of how emotions influence behavior. Sessions include talking through feelings, noticing patterns, and trying simple skills between meetings.
Cheryl works with people who feel isolated or unsure about life purpose and with those wanting to build more self-love and confidence. She also helps people manage panic attacks and the practical fallout of anxiety on work and daily routines.
Getting started is described as a direct process: complete a short questionnaire, pick a time, and begin with a first session. Cheryl accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Cheryl integrates EFT and mindful approaches in online sessions
Cheryl uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients notice and name emotions that shape their behavior and relationships. EFT focuses on identifying key emotional experiences and how they influence reactions, which can help when anxiety, grief, or past hurts keep showing up in everyday life.She also uses client-centered therapy to keep the client's perspective central. This means sessions emphasize the person's own goals and understanding, and the therapist follows the client's lead. Mindfulness therapy is used to build simple, present-moment awareness skills that reduce reactivity and help with panic and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then adapt methods together in a collaborative way. That conversation guides whether EFT, client-centered discussion, mindfulness exercises, or solution-focused steps are emphasized.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. They also let people try techniques in real-life settings and review how those efforts are going with a licensed professional.
