Cheryl Spence, LPCC

Cheryl Spence, LPCC, is licensed in Ohio and has 11 years of professional counseling experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. She describes her work as creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment and where people can begin to address difficult issues.

Cheryl uses practical, talk-based methods to help people make sense of what they're feeling. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses trauma-focused methods and Mindfulness Therapy to manage overwhelming emotions and to build coping skills.

Her approach includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic memories. She frames this and other methods in straightforward terms and works with clients to decide what fits their situation.

Cheryl pays attention to common life stressors such as caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, and issues veterans may face. She also addresses communication problems, social anxiety, abandonment worries, and feelings of isolation.

Sessions focus on concrete steps and skills. Cheryl helps people set goals, practice new coping strategies, and track progress over time. She asks questions, offers reflections, and introduces exercises from her clinical approaches when they may help.

Cheryl practices in Ohio and conducts her work in English. People who want to begin can follow the service's matching and scheduling process to set up a first appointment.
