Cheryl Hann

Cheryl Hann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings ten years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, depression, and coping with life changes. Cheryl emphasizes respectful, compassionate care and works to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Her style centers on listening first and then building practical steps together. Cheryl uses approaches such as client-centered therapy to follow what matters to the client, cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing intense emotions. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when those methods fit a person's goals. Cheryl has worked with active duty military and veterans in clinical treatment settings. She has academic training in Hispanic and Chicano cultural studies and has passed university-level Spanish testing, though sessions are offered in English through this directory. She also has training addressing religious trauma and life after involvement in high-demand religions. In sessions she focuses on concrete steps people can practice between meetings. That might include short behavioral experiments, skills for calming anxiety, or ways to reframe negative self-talk. Cheryl aims to support people as they move toward clearer priorities and more manageable day-to-day routines. Her approach is collaborative and paced to fit a person's readiness for change. People who want help with grief, addiction concerns, body-image issues, ADHD-related struggles, or relationship and intimacy questions can explore those topics in a respectful setting.

How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the person's priorities first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. This approach is useful when people want a supportive space to talk through life changes or relationship and identity questions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It often includes short exercises or between-session practice to reduce anxiety or shift mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Cheryl works collaboratively to decide which methods make sense based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as new challenges come up or progress is made.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy days, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist during the intake about how to structure sessions so they fit your routine and goals.
