About Cheryl
Cheryl Youngblood is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, family and relationship concerns, and a range of life changes that affect day-to-day functioning.
She uses a straightforward, person-centered style in sessions. Cheryl listens for what is most urgent and helps people name problems they want to change. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools and emotionally-focused methods to address how thoughts and feelings influence behavior and connection with others.
Her background includes years working with foster and adoptive programs and experience supporting caregiving stress and attachment challenges. That history informs how she talks about family of origin issues, abandonment, and the complexities of adoption and foster care.
Cheryl also works with people facing addiction, ADHD, intimacy and sexual issues, sleep disruption, anger, low self-esteem, and career or coaching questions. She includes practical techniques such as guided imagery, breathing exercises, sensory tools, tapping, and basic mindfulness to manage symptoms between sessions.
Sessions are conversational and task-focused. Clients can expect to set short-term goals, practice skills, and review what helps in day-to-day life. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the site’s online options.
BHow sessions work
How Cheryl uses therapy approaches online
Cheryl combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address practical problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can identify what matters most and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotional responses and how they affect relationships, helping people improve connection and communication.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Cheryl will review your concerns and goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust what she uses based on what helps. The process is about testing tools, practicing skills between sessions, and deciding together which techniques make daily life easier.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try skills in real-life contexts and then discuss what did or did not work at the next meeting.
